In the year 1982, Mr Kurian Jose Sr., began manufacturing food grade Agar Agar (china grass) for the local market. As a result of constant focus on R&D, Bacteriological, Pharmaceutical and Plant Tissue Culture grade Agar Agar was introduced in the year 1989. Currently the company has a production capacity over 350 M.T per annum.
