Haji Muhammad Bholu
HB Shuttle Company traces its origins back to the early 1920s with the exceptional craftsmanship of Haji Muhammad Bholu, the pioneer behind Asia’s first Khadi Machine for handwoven cloth. Renowned for his skill and dedication, Haji Bholu’s legacy endured even after the 1947 migration to Pakistan, where he continued his expertise in textile craftsmanship.

In the 1970s, his son, Haji Muhammad Tufail, expanded this legacy, establishing a shuttle manufacturing plant in Gujranwala, Pakistan. This marked the birth of HB Shuttle Company. Initially importing compressed wooden blocks from Germany and England, the company achieved a significant milestone in 1973 by becoming Pakistan’s first to install a compressing plant locally.
