1. MRF TYRES
Started as a rubber balloon factory with a funding of Rs.14, 000 way back in
the 40’s is now a multibillion legacy that produces quality tyres used all
around India & internationally along with a presence in paints & coats, toys,
motorsports and cricket training.
MRF’s origin traces back to the humble shack in Madras that housed its first
make-shift toy balloon manufacturing unit set up by KM Mammen Mappillai in
1946. It was not until 1952 when it changed course and turned to tread rubber
manufacturing. Thus began its glorious reign as the undisputed leader in the
tyre making industry.
By the early 60’s, MRF was exporting its quality tyres to offices overseas in
the U.S. & Beirut and soon made its presence known globally across 65
different countries - with tyres rolling out of 6 interdependent facilities built
across 450 acres, 3000 strong dealer networks and 180 different offices.
