LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

PROFILE:

 

This is a proprietorship firm started in the year 1926.  The name is synonymous with coffee and quality.  The founder and the first proprietor Mr. V L Narasu is a multi faceted man.  He tried his hands in Film production, acting, film distribution, and was very famous and business savvy even in the 1920 and 1930s.  He started this coffee manufacturing firm, which became a household name in South India.  Now, it is used almost in every house in the Southern part of India and when anyone refers to filter coffee he is invariably referring to Narasus coffee.

 

He then sold the firm to one Mr. P Sarathy who retained the brand name Narasus. 

 

His son, Thiru P. Sivanantham, the Managing Director, after vigorous training under his illustrious father graduated in the coffee business, now oversees the day to day affairs of the company. Siva, as he is affectionately known, with 15 years of experience behind him has also contributed considerably to the success of this enterprise. Both of them are avid followers of ideal corporate governance with a keen eye for details ensuring ultimate satisfaction to the consumer.

 

The firm is totally involved in the business of coffee from growing, processing, manufacturing to the distribution of the branded product.   The passion for excellence in coffee has been uncompromisingly continuing for over 75 years.  The passion has resulted in the birth to the development of the finest quality of coffee.  From manually operated machines in the early days the company has graduated to hi-tech and sophisticated plant and machinery in the pursuit for excellence.  In spite of the change in the technology they have retained the same quality and flavor.

The company has set up a state-of-the-art plant for the manufacture of Instant Coffee, to meet the global demand for good quality soluble coffee. The very best machinery, from the world’s leading manufacturers, have been installed for this purpose. The plant incorporates an Aroma Recovery Unit - a unique manufacturing process by which the full aroma of the coffee is completely retained in the end product.

The sophisticated plant has a very high installed capacity, with an additional option of enhancing the output as and when required, to ensure prompt and uninterrupted supplies to bulk and high volume customers.

The plant also has the flexibility to manufacture different qualities of coffee to meet the exacting needs of each individual market. The company produces

 

- Spray-Dried Powder
- Agglomerated Soluble Coffee.

 

Packing and labelling are also done strictly in accordance to customer’s specific requirements. The company has ultra modern facilities for packing in

 

- Bulk
- Tins
- Jars
- Sachets

 

in different sizes and different packaging materials to suit individual needs.

Roasting, one of the most vital aspects of coffee manufacturing process is done in imported automatic Roasters. These sophisticated Roasters have temperature controls, ensuring an even roast and optimization of flavor.  The ground coffee is packed immediately in automatic packing machines using the best quality packaging materials to eliminate any loss of flavor. Ground coffee can be packed to customers specific requirements.

 

 

A VERY REPUTED CASH RICH DEPENDABLE FIRM IN SOUTH OF INDIA.  GOOD FIRM TO DO BUSINESS WITH.  HOWEVER AS A MATTER OF CAUTION FINANCIAL DEALINGS CAN BE DONE THRU BANK OR THRU LCs.
