Aspinwall & Co. Ltd., is one of the earliest commercial enterprises in the Malabar - Coast of South India, established in the year 1867, by the legendary English trader and visionary, John H. Aspinwall.
In 1956, the Erstwhile Royal Family of Travancore acquired a small interest in Aspinwall, when it became a public limited company. In the early '70's, when the English owners decided to disinvest,a major portion of the company's shareholding was taken over by the Erstwhile Royal Family, and they continue to hold the controlling interest till date.
Today, Aspinwall & Co. Ltd. has diversified business interests in the areas of Logistics,Speciality Coffee Natural Fiber Products, Natural Rubber and Tourism.
Aspinwall Logistics Division :
Aspinwall's involvement with shipping dates back to the very origin of the company, about a century-and-a-half ago.
In tune with the growing tempo in marine traffic, Aspinwall steadily expanded its sphere of operations, building upon its rich expertise and extensive experience in ship chartering and marine/general insurance. Today, Aspinwall's Logistics Division has a pan-India presence with a wide network of offices that covers major ports, ICD's and airports
Aspinwall Coffee Division :
Plantations were one of the oldest organised sectors that grew under the British in India. Coffee, which lured the palates of the European cognoscenti, found large investments in the hilly districts of Coorg, Chikmagalur and Hassan in Karnataka. In the wake of this British exodus to these cool confines, Aspinwall branched out into plantation supplies and coffee curing in Mangalore. Starting as pool agents to the Coffee Board of India, the company has a major presence in the entire coffee supply chain - input supplies to plantations, processing, trading and export.
Aspinwall Plantation Division
Rubber has many commercial applications from erasers to airplane tyres. Aspinwall entered the rubber plantation sector in the beginning of the 20th century. The plantations are nestled amidst the idyllic, evergreen hill ranges of northern Kerala and are among the first rubber estates to be developed in Kerala's organised plantation sector. The Group owns and manages about 2,000 acres of rubber plantations and produces high-grade centrifuged latex & technically specified natural rubber. Aspinwall's rubber processing factory which converts latex and scrap rubber into cenex and crumb, has a capacity of around 1000 tonnes per annum.
One of the strengths of Aspinwall's rubber division is its R&D orientation. By developing high-yielding clones, applying innovative agricultural techniques and inter-cropping with medicinal plants, the Division has been able to bring about higher yields and better quality. The output from the plantation is in three categories latex, crumb and skim rubber.
Aspinwall Natural Fibre Division
Natural Fibre, also known as Cocos, is India's golden gift to the world. The fibre is extracted from the protective husk of coconuts. As a floor covering and furnishing material, Natural Fibre has a great following worldwide. Natural Fibre products are versatile, elegant, colourful and economical. They are 100 percent bio-degradable and environment-friendly.
Aspinwall entered the Natural Fibre industry over a hundred years ago, with factories in Alleppey for producing handloom products and a powerloom for machine-made runners and mattings. The Group's century-old experience and expertise, handed down through generations of talented artists and artisans, is reflected in its masterly creations.
The product range includes entrance mats, corridor mats, carpets, mattings, rugs, runners and mesh mattings. Aspinwall is one of the oldest exporters of coir and Natural Fibre products from India. The markets for the products are spread throughout the world.
