English Biscuit Manufacturers (EBM), doing business as Peek Freans, is a Pakistani biscuits manufacturer based in Karachi.[1][2] EBM owns the Pied Piper trademark in Pakistan.[3]
History
English Biscuit Manufacturers (EBM) was founded in 1965 as Peek Freans Pakistan Limited through a joint venture with 25.25 percent shareholding held by Peek Freans and 74.65 percent by House of Manji.[4] In 1966, it was renamed as English Biscuit Manufacturers after a rebranding of its UK-based parent company, Associated Biscuits.[5] A few years later, Manji family sold its stake to Arag Group.[6]
In 1967, EBM began producing the Peek Freans biscuit in Pakistan.[5]
