“Quality food at an affordable price”… This was the thought that inspired Thomas Mathew Moonukandathil, a Rice Trader with decades of experience in procuring and supplying paddy, to establish ‘St.Mary’s Paddy Processing’ in the year 1987.
As a unit that supplied quality rice grains at reasonable rates, St. Mary’s Paddy Processing grew steadily, with the demand for their products increasing by the day. In 1995, in order to cater to the rising demand, Thomas Mathew started JMJ Modern Rice Mills, the products of which were branded “Rani”.
Again, in the year 1998, St. Mary’s Paddy Processing was converted to a fully mechanized unit, which increased the production 150 tones a day. Rani as a rice brand was growing phenomenally on the strength of its unparalleled quality; and in 2002, the business was made a Private Limited Company- KE Agro Mills.
The group began exports in the year 2002 with its flagship product ‘Rani Brand Rice’. In 2005, Rani Group took its first step to business diversification with two new manufacturing units- Stine Food Products & Rani Food Products. These units are engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of high-quality processed food that include various varieties of rice products (powders), wheat and also spices and condiments- spice powders, condiment powders and curry masala powders.
The year 2008 saw Rani Group grow to the next level with its new venture ‘Geeyem Agro Mills’ at Perumbavoor- a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with a production capacity of 120 tons a day, using latest technology and high-tech machinery.
Today, Rani Group ranks among the top food manufacturers of South India with an estimated production of around 270 tons a day; and is growing steadily as a brand, strengthened by its commitment quality and nurtured by the goodwill of its customers.
