About us

A seed called TAPL was sowed in Madurai in 1977. That seed has grown into a multi-crore, multi-brand tree over the years, thanks to painstaking work of its two dynamic promoters – S.Thiagarajan and M.Ramesh.

Since its inception as a small partnership firm, manufacturing natural edible oil , TAPL has witnessed colossal growth while maintaining the high values and ethics we were born and brought up with.

While TAPL is steeped in old-fashioned values, our manufacturing has always been cutting-edge. We have constantly strived to update our knowledge base in core business and we pride in our superior sourcing network, superlative manufacturing prowess and skilled logistics.

These are the strengths that have helped us venture into a range of products.

We wish to stand steadfast in our commitment to providing impeccable quality to our customers, incredible service to our partners and increasing delight to all concerned.

Anchored in Madurai, TAPL range of products now reach key consumer markets in the neighbouring districts viz Sivaganga, Theni, Virudhunagar, Ramanathapuram etc.

TAPL also has a vibrant Institutional division supplying quality gingelly oil to prestigious hotel chains like Saravana Bhavan, The Grand Sweets & Snacks, Konar Mess etc., and also to popular ayurvedic and pharmaceutical research institutes like AVN, Pehang Parmacy Malaysia etc.

Today, TAPL has evolved into its next avatar, wherein the promoters’ sons have taken charge and are forging new vistas and has ambitious plans to grow its business and spread its wings.

For starters, we wish to expand our sales network to span the whole of Tamil Nadu and set up operations in India’s key metros as well. The export division too that already is a money-spinner is set to change gears and spread across multiple continents.

One of TAPL’s vision is to provide a natural and healthy edible oil alternative to millions of households who have erroneously shifted to refined and processed edible oil that are not only unhealthy but are poor taste supplements as well. TAPL also wishes to launch a range of food products – that would be natural, tasty and healthy.
