We are a family-owned business going back to 1960 when Abdur Rahman Mian set up Boremaster Limited as an engineering and contracting firm.

About the founder:

Abdur Rahman Mian was born in 1932 in the small town of Sargodha in a humble household. His father, an employee of the British India rail ensured that his children got educated and pursued their dreams. ARM as he is known in the professional circles went on to fly post-WWII Howard aircraft for the Pakistan air force.

His fascination with the armed forces was short-lived and not long after training to be a pilot he bode farewell to the air force and went on study geology.

After completing his training as a geologist he joined Government Service and worked on major infrastructure projects of that era, being dams, hydropower stations, bridges and mines. In 1958 he set up his own company, Boremaster that was later incorporated in 1960 as a limited liability company.

Boremaster saw astronomic growth in the 60s and 70s and in the 80s became an international company having formed a joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

ARM was the founder member of the Lahore Flying Club, a Polo player, prolific reader, an intrepid traveler and a great innovator, mentor and father.

ARM’s four sons now continue in his tradition of enterprise and innovation, however not only in the fields served by Boremaster Limited but in other fields having set up a number of new companies.
