Credentials

By the grace of God,
By the grace of God,

and we are looking forward to export fans to all parts of the world including
United States and Europe.

Number
of units in Pakistan
There are now over five
hundred fan manufacturing units operating in Gujrat, Lahore and few other cities.
These small from the real back bone of the industry. They provide employment to
a large number of people and all put together account of more than 90 percent
of the domestic market. GFC fans is on
the top of the list in product and quality products at the moment.
Cultural
Environment
The cultures of the
different areas may affects the GFC fans products and sales. In euroup the
culture are different they mostly use the fancy type of fans which through a
low air but looks nice when they are instilled in to the room, because they do
not need high speed fans due to their cold temperature, but in some areas like
Bangladesh, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Africa etc they need the products with high
speed and better quality.
At some place people only
likes to install the split units instead of electric fan because they need
cooling instead of fan air.
So, the cultures and the
environment will defiantly affect the sale and service of the GFC fans butt
they can not change them but only in one way where they can
make change they have to
make their products which fulfils the demand of that specific culture in that
way they can produce the required results.
Technology
The new
technology is a threat for GFC fans and all the other factors as well because
in the market a product is based on the technology if some body introduced the
new technology for fans then GDC fans also have to purchase that kind a
technology to meet the demands of their buyers.
A new
technology can be very useful for them because in the improvement in the
technology the quality of the product will increases and cost will decreases.
So,
technology plays very important role in the success of industry if GFC use the
technology that other firms do not have then defiantly their demand will
increase.
