Pak Elektron Limited (PEL) (Urdu: پاک الیکٹران لمیٹڈ) is a Pakistani major home appliances and electrical equipment manufacturer headquartered in Lahore.
PEL operates in two segments - power and appliances. The former includes manufacturing of transformers, grid stations and energy meters among other goods, while the latter division deals in making, assembling and distribution of home appliances like refrigerators and air conditioner.
History
Pak Elektron Ltd (PEL) was founded in 1956 through a technical collaboration with AEG. In 1978, PEL was acquired by Saigol Group and was taken public a decade later. In 2009, PEL became the sole distributor of LG Corporation's home appliances in Pakistan.
In February 2018, the World Bank imposed a 33-month debarment on PEL, its affiliates PEL Marketing, Kohinoor Power Company, and its former general manager, Abdul Waheed Butt, for engaging in collusive practices during bidding on World Bank-financed electricity distribution and transmission improvement projects in Pakistan. As part of Negotiated Resolution Agreements, PEL and Butt acknowledged their roles in the misconduct and agreed to comply with specified corporate compliance conditions for release from debarment. An investigation by the World Bank's Integrity Vice Presidency found that PEL was part of a trade association that conspired to allocate predetermined shares of five contracts by deciding winners in advance and coordinating bid prices; Butt chaired meetings that distributed at least two of these contracts among group members.
In 2020, PEL became a distributor of Panasonic products in Pakistan.
