| As a diversification of industrial
and business activities HARITHA HAWAI was incorporated in 1993. When the
promoters discussed the details regarding diversification of industrial
activity we were very particular that we should be able to utilise the
resources available in Kerala. Hence we decided for a rubber based industry. |
 Sri. M. V. THOMAS | Promoters are : Sri. M. V. THOMAS, and his
brother Sri. PAUL VARGHESE, Sri. K. C. JACOB and Sri. O. V. ALIAS (all are
from Kizhakkambalam). ( The promoters are carrying on the other business
activities of mining, crushing, transportation, contract works as
well as large scale production and sale of coconut oil. )
A very good
quantity of natural rubber is required daily for the uninterrupted production
of HARITHA HAWAI which is procured from our own district which is really
beneficial to the rubber producers. Providing employment to the educated
youth from our locality was one of the main objectives at the time of starting
HARITHA HAWAI. These were the primary objectives of the promoters for
diversifying in to rubber based industry in our home town.

After commissioning the 1st factory,
sale of HARITHA HAWAI was commenced in November 1994. Thereafter within 2
years time Haritha Hawai was successfully marketed all over Kerala. In
order to meet the increasing demand we have commissioned 5 more manufacturing
units (total 6) in Kizhakkambalam itself providing employment to more than 300
workers directly and indirectly. | Haritha Hawai is marketed in Kerala, Andhra
Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra in India and also being exported to
SULTANATE OF OMAN, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES and KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA, etc.
We are getting a lot of orders from other states in India like Tamil Nadu,
Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, etc. and also from countries like South Africa,
Madagasgar, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Qatar, etc. We are happy to state
that HARITHA HAWAI is very well accepted in all the areas where it is being
marketed. The whole hearted and sincere co-operation provided by our
efficient distributors in Kerala and outside Kerala is highly encouraging.
Recently, our Managing Director Sri. M. V. Thomas and Director
Sri. O. V. Alias visited Gulf countries to meet our distributors and dealers
and also to meet the prospective distributors there. We are very happy to
announce that we have received new orders from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
United Arab Emirates and Sultanate of Oman. Our distributors in Gulf
countries are really interested in importing other products also from Kerala.
Hence we have already promoted a new production and marketing set up by name 'HARITHA
IMPEX PRIVATE LIMITED' through which we propose to import raw materials from
Japan, South Korea etc. and also to export our products to several countries. A
few other consumer items will also be exported through HARITHA IMPEX PRIVATE
LIMITED, which will be successfully marketed in Gulf countries by the
distributors of Haritha Hawai.
