Introduction
Our journey began in 1982 when Mr. Kurian Jose Sr. established a business that manufactured food-grade Agar Agar (china grass) for the regional market. Since then, we have concentrated on manufacturing top-notch products. Our hardworking research and development team created Bacteriological, Pharmaceutical, and Plant Tissue Culture Grade Agar Agar in 1989. To better service a larger customer base, we also incorporated Spreadable type Agar Agar Wondergel and all grades of Carrageenan. Our range has been expanded to include sodium alginate in various grades, including culinary, cosmetic, impression, and pharmaceutical.
