Profile

Ukkens, a name synonymous with quality, has notched up many a success story to its credit as being the quality producer of timber and construction materials from Kerala achieving world class production capability and delivery time schedules in the industry.

Ukkens had its humble beginning in the timber business in 1957. It was initiated by Mr. U.A. Varghese, the grand patriarch after whom the company is named. A man with a vision, he laid the foundations of a large business empire.

Today Ukkens is a name to reckon with in the industrial landscape of Kerala spreading out into many businesses. From the beginnings of Ukkens as a timber trading company it was decided that for effective profitability, quality control systems and delivery scheduling a vigorous process of backward integration was needed to be undertaken.

Ukkens is committed to ensure that they consistently deliver the most appropriate solutions for the individual needs of their vast range of customers including architects, property developers/builders, self-builders, homeowners, interior designers etc.

Excellent customer service, distribution, flexibility and unsurpassed technical quality have, and continue to build Ukkens Group reputation.

The vision and perseverance of Mr. U.A. Varghese has been carried forward by his illustrious sons well experienced in development and promotion of innovative business strategies and techniques. Ukkens group has been built up into what it is today, a major industrial house in Kerala under their efficient leadership and guidance. Ukkens has forayed into multifarious operations from timber business to Glass and hardware to resorts.
