Ferozsons
publisher in Pakistan
Ferozsons (Pvt) Limited (also Ferozsons Publishers) (Urdu: فیروزسنز) is a Pakistani publishing company in Lahore, Pakistan. Established in 1894, it is Pakistan’s oldest publishing house.
In 1954, the Ferozsons Business Group expanded when one of the family members founded Ferozsons Laboratories, one of Pakistan’s first pharmaceutical companies.
History
Maulvi Ferozuddin was one of the most prominent scholars of his time. He was among the first to translate the Holy Qur’an from Arabic into Persian and Urdu. In recognition of his remarkable achievements, he was honored with burial at Data Darbar, one of the oldest and most revered Sufi shrines in South Asia.
Maulvi Ferozuddin began publishing books at the request of William Bell, the Director of Education during the British rule. He also authored several books himself, the first being the Urdu translation of Data Ganj Baksh’s famous work Kashf-ul-Mahjoob.
Ferozsons Limited was originally established by Maulvi Ferozuddin in Chohatta Mufti Baqar, inside the historic walled city of Lahore. From the very beginning, his vision extended beyond business success.

Why this record matters
The phrase “publisher in Pakistan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5445221. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1894 and 1954.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
