Islamabad, May 4, 2025: Pakistan’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape is heating up fast, with two industry giants — Rafhan Maize and Lotte Chemical Pakistan — reportedly exploring strategic deals.
Together, they command a hefty market cap of $400 million, signaling what could become one of the most significant M&A waves the country has seen in years.
Rafhan Maize, the nation’s largest corn buyer, powers critical supply chains by producing industrial starches, glucose, dextrose, and gluten for diverse sectors like food, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and even poultry.
Lotte Chemical, meanwhile, is a major player in Pakistan’s petrochemical space, adding value through polyester intermediates.
If this deal materializes, analysts predict it could reshape both the food and chemical industries, mirroring past landmark deals such as Engro’s fertilizer acquisitions or Fauji’s energy sector expansions.
Experts believe this M&A momentum could push 2025’s deal volume to record-breaking levels, fueling foreign investment confidence and opening new doors for local and global stakeholders.
