About Al Goher Trader — Himalayan Pink Salt Manufacturer Since 1990
Al Goher Trader (AGT) and Hamdani Salt Factory are one family business at the Warcha Salt Mines in Khushab District, Punjab, Pakistan. Founded in 1990 as a family mining and trading operation, we have grown into a manufacturer and exporter with more than 10,000 tonnes of annual capacity, round-the-clock production, and buyers in over fifty countries.
Our Story
In 1998 we opened our own processing factory, bringing cutting, grinding, and crafting in-house for full quality control. Regular container exports to the Middle East and Europe began in 2005, and by 2012 the export network had passed thirty countries with dedicated lines for lamps, edible salt, and tiles. In 2018, Shamas Shah joined as our US Representative in Ellicott City, Maryland, giving North American buyers local support for samples, logistics, and accounts. Today AGT is a trusted wholesale partner across four continents — read the founding story from our leadership.
The People Behind the Salt
Three generations of the Hamdani family lead the company from Warcha, supported by a dedicated export and QA team handling grading, quality assurance, documentation, and worldwide shipping. Buyers are welcome to visit the factory, tour the production floor, and see the mine that supplies their orders.
From the Warcha Salt Mines
Everything we ship is hand-mined from 250-million-year-old deposits at the Warcha Salt Mines in Khushab District, Punjab, Pakistan, and processed at our own Hamdani Salt Factory — the family business behind Al Goher Trader since 1990. Factory-direct means one seam, one factory, documented lots, and lab reports drawn from the actual shipment. Learn more about us, our quality and certifications, and sustainable mining.
