COMPANY

Atlas Honda Limited (AHL) is a joint venture between the Atlas Group and Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Japan. The
company was created by the merger of Panjdarya Limited and Atlas Autos Ltd. in 1988. Both these
motorcycle manufacturing concerns were established by the Atlas Group. In addition, a third concern, Atlas
Epak Ltd. was taken over by the Government of Bangladesh in 1971 after the fall of Dhaka. AHL
manufactures and markets Honda motorcycles in collaboration with Honda Motor Company. The Company
also manufactures various hi-tech components in-house in collaboration with leading parts manufacturers
like Showa Atsumitech, Nippon Denso and Toyo Denso. Honda motorcycles are by far the largest selling
motorcycles in the country with an unmatched reputation for high quality, reliability and after-sales-service.

AHL has undertaken to develop local manufacturing capabilities to the highest, economically feasible level.
While a major role in localization has been assigned to vendor industries, Atlas has the country’s largest in-
house manufacturing capability at its Karachi and Sheikhupura plants. To support the production facilities,
the company has established an R&D wing and tool making facilities through CAD/CAM which are growing
rapidly in size and function as the company expands. Atlas has managed to execute 12 Joint
Venture/Technical Assistance Agreements between local vendors and foreign manufacturers for transfer of
technology. Besides, Atlas has directly executed 9 Joint Venture/Technical Assistance Agreements other than
Honda.

AHL management is striving to modernize company operations by adapting applicable aspects of research
and theory and more specifically, Honda’s unique philosophy of hard/soft technologies to the realities of
Pakistani conditions. Company management structure, systems and processes are changed according to the
demands of the customer, growth and new technology. Efforts are being made to develop participation at all
levels of personnel in decision-making and a substantial and effective delegation has been established at
levels where applicable. Various participation programs such as Ala Mayar Quality Circles movement,
launched in 1985, are strongly encouraged to allow constructive self-expression and teamwork. The
Company training and development programs encourage all members to develop themselves and contribute
to their full potential.

AHL is playing a pioneering role in creating conditions for easy and confident use of motorcycles all over the
country. A vast and growing network of over 1600 sales service and spare parts dealers has been
established. In order to back up this system, Atlas has set up Warranty & Training Centers (WTC) in Karachi
and Lahore which provide several courses of varying duration and complexity for motorcycle mechanics and
users each year. Mobile training facilities take the latest know-how, technology and maintenance of
motorcycles to major rural and urban centers around the country.
