ORIGIN AND HISTORY


MRFs origin traces back to the humble shack in
Madras that housed its first makeshift toy balloon manufacturing
unit set up by KM Mammen Mappillai in 1946. It was not until
1952 when it changed course and turned to tread rubber
manufacturing. Thus began its glorious reign as the undisputed
leader in the tyre making industry.
HISTORY:

1946
A young entrepreneur, K. M. Mammen Mappillai, opened a small
toy balloon manufacturing unit in a shed at Tiruvottiyur, Madras
(now Chennai).
1949
Although the factory was just a small shed without any machines, a
variety of products, ranging from balloons and latex-cast squeaking
toys to industrial gloves and contraceptives, were produced. During

Street, Madras (now Chennai), Tamil Nadu, India.
