They have only one mission that is to ladder their way towards success and become India’s Top most 100% Natural Food Products manufacturer. They are considered as an entrepreneur who believes in nature friendly production to create new standards of pure Natural Food Products and to raise them higher with each endeavor.

In their premises, they manufacture purely natural food colours and instant food products by using a healthy blend of completely natural resources and technology. Their range of products is well known for their global quality standards. As a result of high quality productivity at very reasonable prices within the specified delivery time they can proudly mention that they are the single supplier of Natural Food Colours to many prestigious food industrialists since years.


The organization's commitment to provide Quality Food Products has won it accolades from one and from all. But their zest for better quality is the driving force for their regular improvements. Apart from the market competition, they believe in competing theirselves and testing their limits. This motivation factor encourages them to increase their manufacturing potentials and to augment them time to time.

 

Their incomparable state-of-the-art infrastructure consists a well-equipped and a high-tech plant to cater to the increased demand for their Products. All these qualities have positioned them as the ALLFRESH organization and their plant is absolutely pollution free, which reflects their concern for environment.

 

Now with them the days of chemical preservatives, artificial flavors and synthetic colours have vanished and you can have the great taste, the pure, fresh and healthy Food Products.

 

Heritage

 

When the whole World was struggling to accept the concept of chemical and synthetic food products, a revolution was taking place in India.

 

And a revolution it was. In the year 1982 the patriarchs of Ahmedabad, India based “Kapoor Family” established an Industrial Unit dedicated solely to finding better Food Product Solutions in a Natural Way. And thus came in to existence Aarkay Food Products Ltd.

 

Though a small and a humble Organization, it had dreams and passion to serve the Country with the very best in Natural Products. The Company began its early operations by making Caramel and Annatto Colour for various food industries. During those days both these Colours were like infants with no guardians to support their upbringing. Those who attempted to could not find the required technical expertise. In-fact a large chunk of the domestic demand was being met by importing the Product from other countries.

 

After relentless dedication and focused R&D, Team Aarkay developed different grades of Caramel and other Natural Food Colours. These ground breaking innovations changed the very phase of Food India which relied heavily on Chemical and Synthetic Products to make its finished Products. And rest as they say is history.

 

Year after year after year, Team Aarkay developed different Products constantly striving to serve its nation and Markets abroad with the very best. Creating and recreating higher Industry benchmarks with newer and better innovations. And today subject has become “A House of Natural Food Products”, serving Products which serve various Industries including yours.

 

However all is not done for Team Aarkay. Who knows there just might be another revolution in the making in their R&D Department!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Research and Development

 

They constantly endeavour to develop a purposeful innovation, something that would not only enhance but transform the lives of their Consumers.


To realize this endeavour they have a well equipped R&D Department and a dedicated team of Food Technologists who work directly under the leadership of Organizational heads. This synergic method facilitates a quick and responsive strategy towards any Market Developments.

 

Subject was primarily involved in Caramel and Natural Food Colours. But when their Consumers asked for wider Food ingredient solutions they couldn’t turn them down.


Their food technologists regularly interact with clients to help them find their complete food solutions. Infact a lot of their recent Products are dedicated to their valuable consumers.

 

Infrastructure

 

To nurture the spirit of entrepreneurship and further shape their R&D efforts it was much required to have a supporting Production Facility.

 

A State of the Art Production facility was established at the outskirts of Ahmedabad equipped with all the latest machinery. A 3 Phase expansion plan was carried out to upgrade their technology and Production Capacity. Today the Company has successfully implemented the expansion plan for its existing businesses as well as future ventures.

 

The Company is set to expand its businesses by entering in new Markets following a Vertical Integration Business Model.
