History of the Company

The company was initially begun as Mewar Oil and General Mills Limited in the year 1946 in India. The history of the company is described here:

From the year 1947 to the year 1980

The company embarked on a period of expansion. This period was marked by the formation of a marketing network throughout India. The first Agchem plant was installed during this period. In addition to the Agchem business, the company diversified its interests by entering into mining and mineral processing. The mining and mineral processing divisions were later spun off into a company called Wolkem India Limited. The company achieved its first export of Agchem formulation during this initial period spanning almost four decades. Lastly, the company also began an Agchem formulation and marketing brand called VEGFRU. Considering all of these, it would come as no surprise to note that the company's research and development was recognised by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

From the year 1980 to the year 2000

In these two decades, the company achieved a lot more than it had done previously. One of the biggest changes during this time was the change in name to PI Industries Limited. The company also entered into the space of polymer compounding. A manufacturing site was set up in the state of Gujarat. A Phorate technical plant was also installed during this time. The company began the process of international expansion by entering the Middle East where it set up a turnkey Agchem manufacturing unit. The company also diversified into custom synthesis and manufacturing. Yet another diversification was also achieved. The company diversified into energy metering. This was later spun off into Secure Meters Limited. These two decades marked another major milestone for the company with it acquiring the ISO 9002 and 14001 certifications.

From the year 2000 to the year 2005

During these five years, the company divested itself of its polymer business. The research and development centre at Udaipur was expanded. A new formulation plant was established in Jammu. The achievements of the company during these five years include it getting accredited by OHSAS 18001 and ISO 17025. The company also launched 8 new products in India alone. The company also introduced 10 new products in CSM.

From the year 2005 to the year 2012
