Karachi witnessed a moment of pride and celebration as R&I Electrical Appliances Pvt. Ltd. commemorated 25 remarkable years in the home appliances industry. The grand event, held at the iconic PAF Museum, brought together leadership, partners, and industry insiders to honor a journey defined by growth, trust, and innovation.
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leadership
Founded in 2001 as National Electric Company (NEC), R&I started with a clear vision to deliver reliable and high-quality appliances to Pakistani households. Over the years, that vision has transformed into a powerful legacy.
One of the company’s early milestones was introducing the globally recognized brand Kenwood to Pakistan, giving consumers access to international standards in kitchen appliances. Building on this success, R&I launched Homage in 2007—a proudly local brand that quickly rose to prominence, especially in the UPS, inverter, and power solutions segment.

Today, Homage is not just a brand; it’s a household name trusted by millions across the country.
A Diverse Portfolio for Modern Living
Over the past two and a half decades, R&I has significantly expanded its product range to meet the evolving needs of consumers. Its portfolio now includes everything from air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines to microwave ovens, small domestic appliances, and advanced power solutions like UPS systems, inverters, and solar energy products.
This diversity reflects the company’s commitment to making everyday life easier, more efficient, and more comfortable for Pakistani families.
Looking Ahead: Innovation and Responsibility

While the 25-year milestone is a celebration of the past, it is equally a stepping stone toward the future. R&I continues to strengthen its position by expanding globally recognized brands like Kenwood alongside its flagship local brand, Homage.
At the heart of this journey is a strong leadership vision. Speaking at the event, Managing Director Muhammad Faisal Rafiq emphasized that this milestone represents more than just time—it reflects trust, resilience, and responsibility toward millions of households.
He highlighted the company’s focus on innovation, energy-efficient solutions, and strengthening local manufacturing, all while contributing to Pakistan’s economic and industrial growth.
A Legacy That Continues
As R&I Electrical Appliances steps into its next chapter, its journey serves as a testament to what consistent quality, forward-thinking, and customer trust can achieve over time.
With a strong foundation and a clear vision for the future, the company is set to continue shaping the home appliances landscape in
