Sialkot is known the world over for rich industrial heritage. The items produced in Sialkot are of international standard and are appreciated all over the world. To safeguard the interests of the Business Community, the Sialkot Association of Trade and Industry was formed in 1976 and it was affiliated with Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
It was decided by the pioneers of the local industry to get the existing Association to the level of Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The Association adopted the necessary resolution in the meeting held on December 12, 1979 for taking up the matter with the Ministry of Commerce. The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry passed a similar resolution on July 28, 1981.
