Engineering Post’s discussion with Muhammad Bashir Khan
Karimi Electromech Systems (KES) has emerged as one of the most respected names in Pakistan’s electrical and switchgear industry. Established in 1993 by Mr. Abid Karim (CEO) and Mr. Muhammad Bashir Khan (Executive), the company has grown steadily over the past three decades, building an impeccable reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation. With extensive experience in low-tension (L.T.) switchboard production and electrical engineering services, KES has consistently maintained its dedication to precision and excellence. This long-standing commitment has enabled the company to establish itself as a dependable and trusted leader in the market.
In a recent conversation with Engineering Post, Mr. Muhammad Bashir Khan shed light on the company’s journey, its guiding vision, and the strategies that have allowed it to thrive in a highly competitive industry. Reflecting on KES’s early days, he explained, “Initially, our work primarily revolved around fulfilling contracts and projects that were awarded to us. Over time, however, we realized the importance of developing our own manufacturing capability to better serve our clients’ needs. That decision proved pivotal, as today we are registered with nearly every major consultancy in the country, and our reputation is the result of tireless effort, commitment, and consistency.”
When asked about technological progress in the industry, Mr. Bashir highlighted, “Advancements are constant in this field. At KES, we ensure that our clients always receive products of the highest quality without compromise. We continually integrate the most advanced technologies available, enabling us to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.”
Discussing product diversification, he noted that KES began as a dedicated switchgear manufacturer but gradually broadened its portfolio. Today, the company offers a wide array of engineering solutions, including both L.T. and H.T. switchboard manufacturing. “Our goal is to keep expanding with innovation and to consistently introduce more advanced solutions. This not only ensures the company’s growth but also guarantees greater satisfaction for our valued clients,” he remarked.
Turning his attention to the younger generation of engineers, Mr. Bashir stressed the importance of sincerity and perseverance. “The youth of today have immense potential to transform the engineering sector in Pakistan. To do so, they must dedicate themselves fully to their work, act with honesty, and maintain unwavering commitment to their field. That is the only way the industry, and by extension, the nation, will progress.
On the subject of after-sales support, Mr. Bashir underscored KES’s unwavering focus on customer satisfaction. “We have never compromised on the client’s experience or the quality of our after-sales services. For us, two pillars define our identity: uncompromised product quality and exceptional after-sales care. These principles are not negotiable, as they are essential in cultivating long-term trust and reliability. That trust, in turn, is the foundation of our sustainable growth.”
Concluding the discussion, Mr. Bashir stated, “Our mission has always been to deliver solutions that truly address the needs of our customers. Going forward, we pledge to strengthen that mission with even greater dedication, innovation, and excellence.”
