It is with great interest that ‘Artistic Milliners’ has acquired a manufacturing facility in California, he mentioned.
He said, “Our local companies should acquire overseas companies and brands, through proper channels, as it increases outreach in the global market and thereby increases our market share.”
Razak Dawood said that Pakistani companies, formally reaching out across the globe, are a welcome sign. “I wish Artistic Milliners every success” he added.
