Since 1860, the Kewalram Chanrai Group has been blazing a trail in the world's emerging economies. While other business houses were focused on developed markets, Kewalram Chanrai entered the uncharted waters of Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, South America, Southeast Asia, China and Japan. It started out trading in textiles but soon diversified into Indian handicrafts, becoming commission agents. As the Company steadily grew, so did its portfolio of businesses.
What started out as a family enterprise more than a century and a half ago in the Indian Subcontinent is now a leading industry player with three business groups and two associate companies, both of which are publicly listed. Today, its business portfolio spans across textiles, commodities, international trade, IT and real estate with more than 12,000 employees in over 54 countries.
Starting initially as the trading division of the Group, Kewalram Nigeria Limited has now developed into an independent professional organisation marketing many well known consumer products.
The Group diversified its activities into printing of textiles and fabrics in the 1960s, and set up manufacturing of yarn and textiles in Nigeria in the 1970s
