Profile

 

M.R Tobacco is a prominent name in the world of export and manufacture of a wide range of tobacco related products including chewing tobacco, pan masala, gutkha, khaini, zarda and mouth freshener. Incepted in 1932, the company has gone from strength to strength and become one of the significant players in it's area of operation. M.R Tobacco's phenomenal growth has been possible for the variety and quality of it's products. The company follows stringent quality measures to ensure the absolute best for it's customers.



Infrastructure

 

Without proper infrastructure, given the competitive nature of the market, it is not just difficult to deliver but also to survive. Their infrastructural strength comprises of high tech machinery, a superb work environment & of course a dedicated & experienced work force. The work force is armed with adequate knowledge and skill to handle the subtlety of tobacco and related products with finesse. Although mostly the preparatory work is carried out manually, the gadgets also have a significant role to play. The final perfection of the products is in fact to a great extent dependent on the precision of the gizmos. In view of their significance in the manufacturing process, the machines are always kept under the surveillance of the experts for performance appraisal and quick detection of snags that may detriment their efficiency.

 

Quality

 

It's based on their quality that they have come so far. All their products are made of high quality raw materials. Their products go through strict quality checks in post manufacture phase to ensure authenticity of flavour and taste. During the checking the products found to have fallen short of the satisfactory standard are rejected immediately.

 

Profile

 

Their company is one of the premier manufacturers and exporters of Pan Masala in the country today. Their company has acquired a leadership position in the market owing to its high quality products. They have managed to establish ourselves as a brand in the market due to their unflinching commitment to customer satisfaction. They have made their mark in every conceivable segment of the tobacco industry. Their products are available in small individual pouches to economy packs. ( You can get pouches of any amount).


The Milestones

 

1932: Family Business started under Mr. Khayaliram Kishanlal.
1960: The business was taken over by Mohanlal Ramkumar.
1976: Establishment Year of MR Sales Corporation.
1988: MR Sales Corporation rechristened as MR Tobacco.

Today, they have reached a position of strength in the market due to the vision and foresight of the senior management of the company. They have accurately measured the demand and have managed to match expenses with revenue to create a profitable business model. This strategic planning combined with flawless execution has resulted in MR Tobacco being the vendor of choice to their customers.


They believe in supplying top quality products to their customers and by doing so they hope to gain valuable word of mouth publicity. Being in the tobacco business they face severe legal and regulatory pressures which prohibits us from using the traditional modes of advertising. In such a scenario word of mouth publicity becomes their sole medium of advertising and this medium only works for those who have top quality products to offer.


They understand the needs of the market

 

They constantly research the market to keep ourselves informed of the latest production methodology employed by tobacco manufacturers. This helps us to acquire knowledge about cost control techniques which will ultimately help us in providing good quality products at even more reasonable prices.


Customer centric approach

 

They constantly strive to offer customer friendly products and they manufacture only those products which their customer prefer. Based on the feedback received from the clients they try to include those ingredients which their customers prefer. Any ingredient alters the taste as perceived by the customers is also excluded from the production process. Since they offer the guarantee of no side effect to their clients they make sure that the composition of their products matches the expectations of their clients.


Client Base

 

Owing to their product quality and customer oriented service, they have been exporting to many neighboring countries, Middle East countries, Gulf Countries and other overseas countries in the world. With an efficient infrastructure and wide network, they can export to any corner of the world.


Quality and infrastructure

 

"Their tobacco based products have acquired immense popularity in both India and abroad. They face severe demographic drawbacks as regulations in India do not allow us to cater to children below 18. So the only way to expand the market is to cater to a new and rather unexplored demographic profile. Their company now has products tailor made for women and they have been very encouraged by the response received from them. They can say that they have successfully overcome the demographic challenge on the strength of savvy marketing and sharp business acumen of their management cadre.

 

"Being manufacturers of tobacco and tobacco based products they face severe challenges with regard to the perception of their products. Most of the products they manufacture are perceived to be injurious to health. This places immense responsibility on us to maintain their quality standards. Since their products are edible they ensure that their hygiene levels are never compromised and their production facilities never lag behind on this parameter.

 

" To maintain their standards of excellence they employ stringent quality measures to ensure that the products delivered to the customers are of international quality and match up to the expectations of their clients. Their quality control team inspects all the incoming and the outgoing raw material for their quality and releases them into the market only when it is convinced that they match up to the standards specified by the customers.

 

" It is a well known fact that only a good set of equipments can produce a good quality product. To manufacture a product of superior quality it is imperative that it is churned out from a well maintained machinery. Their maintenance department conducts regular preventive and break down maintenance of the equipments and machinery to ensure their smooth and efficient functioning.

 

""Packaging" is supposed to be the fifth "P"in marketing. After product, price, place and promotion; packaging is the element which holds the maximum importance in the marketing of a product. Effective packaging can prompt a customer to make an impulse buying decisions. As majority of the purchase decisions are made in store they ensure that their products are attractively packed so as to capture the attention of the buyers. Their senior management selects the designs after careful examination of a vast number of designs. These designs are selected on parameters of eye appeal, colour and various other factors all aimed at capturing the attention of the customer.

 

" In order to make it easier for their customers to access more information about the company's products their company has recently developed a web based interface . This will not only enable them to access information about the company's products but also allow them to send business queries online so that their company can respond to them quite effectively.

 

"Inspite of these handicaps they have managed to achieve their sales targets for the past many years and this has been possible on account of their loyal customer base that they have cultivated over the past many years. Their customers have rewarded us with repeat orders as well as bulk orders and they are deeply indebted to them for their patronage.
