The Group History
1945 : The beginning
of a success story. It was the year that a father-son team - the late V O Ouseph
Senior and Mr. V O Ouseph Junior - founded Palm Fibre (India) Private Limited. The
initial objective of the company was modest. Production and export of coir yarn.
Plus limited ranges of value-added products like entrance mats and mattings.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED IN 1945 |
|
Palm Fibre was soon on its way to become a familiar name in the
international market for coir and coir products. To strengthen the
company's worldwide operations, an association was forged in 1965 with
Gover Horowitz & Blunt of UK. And a new venture was born: Palm Fibre Gover
Horowitz Pvt Ltd. In 1970, Mr. Ouseph jr's son, Mr. Mathew Joseph - a
third generation member of this business family - took over the reign of
Palm Fibre Group. And a phase of consolidation and expansion began. The
production facilities were expanded and modernized. New markets were
identified. New products, including certain non-traditional varieties were
added. Jute, rubber and cotton were brought into the export basket. An
entirely new line - authentic colonial furniture - was introduced.

Kerala is the exotic and beautiful edge of
India, with little dust, no squalor, few ruins, magnificent monuments and
a highly enlightened and articulate population. Here, journeys are short,
smooth and refreshingly clean. To this compact and neat ribbon of land,
nature applies a coat of green twice a year. It is a land that has passed
through centuries of civilization with the mere flutter of its green
wings.

Kerala has a
major port at Cochin. The port is directly on the international maritime
