1965 was the year he commercialized his hobby in a modest manner and began supplying larger quantities of products to various institutional buyers. His personal supervision and resolve to produce Quality products, both in terms of taste and consistency paved the way for gradual but sure growth. Needs of the market prompted him to adopt a Brand for his products, thus was born AFCON an acronym for A nnapurna F oods and Con diments. Although started with the ever popular and best sellers like Mango, Lime and Mixed Vegetable Pickles, he also perfected the recipes for some extraordinary delectable varieties like Green Chili and Brinjal pickles. The unit received its formal manufacturing license, FPO 2136, issued by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries New Delhi in 1966.
India with a population of over a billion now, offers an enormous scope for food products. Despite diverse tastes and food habits, pickles and chutneys are consumed in every household throughout the length & breadth of the country.
The unit was taken over by the present owners in 1976 with a small production capacity of 10 TPA in a rented shed, with about 5-6 varieties of products. Today, the unit operates from its own spacious premises designed specifically for the purpose of manufacturing Quality Indian Ethnic products like Pickles, Culinary Pastes and Condiments in a hygienic and modern process with stringent GMP and GHP guidelines. Presently, the unit now produces more than 30 products and works at a capacity of approximately 180 TPA with ample scope for going higher. A new brand titled “ SpiceUp!” was registered in 2001 to cater to the up-market customers at the new supermarkets and hypermarkets burgeoning in the country presently. Modern imported and indigenous machines have been installed to improve the Quality and enhance processing time. Having undertaken committed efforts in improving the GMP and GHP standards, the unit is now working toward the global HACCP certification.
German Mega Wholesaler METRO Cash & Carry (I) Pvt. Ltd . who set up shop in India, have chosen our unit to manufacture and pack their ‘ARO' brand of pickles since their commencement of business in India in 2003. Other major customers include the TAJGROUP, WELCOMGROUP and many other 5 Star groups of hotels and resorts in over 45 locations in South India.
“Better foods …for Better Living!” is not merely a slogan at AFCON , but every effort is diligently and consciously made to surpass it.
