Our founding chairman, Shree Basantlal Agrawal inspired his son, Manoj Agrawal to start our own family business in 1995 in our hometown Dhule, Maharashtra. This started with a small and humble 30,000 sq. meter solvent extraction plant, gradually improving scale and operations, to now having expanded to two other strategic locations in Nandurbar and Gangakhed, Maharashtra to cater to our diverse clientele. The company is still family owned and operated, with now the third generation exploring new avenues in the business.
