ISLAMABAD – Shield Corporation Limited, a well-known Pakistani company in baby care and hygiene, has announced its decision to voluntarily delist from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The move comes under the exchange’s Voluntary Delisting Rules.
The company’s board has authorized its sponsors to buy back all shares held by minority shareholders. The purchase price will be determined following PSX or Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) regulations. This step marks Shield’s transition from a public to a private company after nearly five decades of operations.
Earlier in 2025, Shield Corporation halted its diaper production line, sparking speculation about the company’s future. Despite this, Shield confirmed that its other business segments, including oral hygiene and baby care products, remain fully operational.
Founded in 1975, Shield has been a household name in Pakistan for decades. Its products reach over 300 towns and cities nationwide, with exports extending to Europe, Asia, and Africa. The company’s decision to delist comes as a surprise to industry watchers, given its long-standing public presence.
Industry analysts suggest that Shield’s delisting may allow for more strategic flexibility in management and operations. By going private, the company can focus on growth, innovation, and operational efficiency without the pressures of quarterly public reporting.
Shield Corporation’s journey reflects the evolution of Pakistan’s consumer goods sector. From humble beginnings to becoming a global name in baby care and hygiene, the company has adapted to changing markets. The voluntary delisting marks a new chapter in its history.
