Golden Memories 2015
S.L.K Food Processing was established in 1987 by Mr. M. KHALID & Mr. M. BASHEER. They hired out a small unit in Calicut, Kerala. in the year 1978 and started manufacturing pickles, synthetic vinegar and synthetic syrup employing 3 persons. Later in 1980, they established own unit in rented premises in Calicut and the product were sold under the brand name “VARIETY”. In the year 1982 the brand name was changed to “SABARI” which became very popular with an added range of products like different pickles and syrups. At that time Marketing was being done in the Malabar region only.
In the meanwhile there was a rising demand for squashes and Jams in the market and production had to be increased. A land in Poovattuparamba, around 15 Km from Calicut city was purchased and a factory constructed in 1985. Simultaneously, the market was also expanded to other geographical areas and it was during that time S.L.K Food Processing introduced RTS Beverages in 3 flavours, i.e Mango, Pineapple & Grape.
In 1987 a new brand “HAPPY” was launched and we started marketing squashes, Jams, Pickles, Soft Drink concentrates, Vinegar etc under this brand in Kerala. Since the production capacity was inadequate one more unit was started in 1995 with a fully automated manufacturing facility. During that period the packing of certain liquid products like Squashes, Syrup, Soft Drink concentrates etc was changed from Glass bottles to PET bottles.
In 2001, we started our own PET Bottles manufacturing unit in the name of GRAND POLYPET. During 2001-2002 a Mechanical Engineering unit in the name of KILBAN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CO was also formed for developing food processing machinery for own use. Our R & D dept has developed fully automatic machines with PLC Control for filling of Jams in Glass bottles and containers.
“HAPPY” has become the brand of choice for customers when it comes to exceptional genuine products. All “HAPPY” products are hygienically prepared as we believe that from hygiene comes purity and from purity come the taste. Incoming Raw material, Packing material, Quality control checking, online checking of production and finished goods final Quality check is done for each batch sizes and samples are kept to identify any variations of quality in the later stage.
