Who We Are

Every great legacy starts with a bold vision

In 1965, our founder, a visionary, Mr A. Muhammad Kunju built Oriental Steel and Agrico Industries - a small manufacturing unit of agricultural equipment. The unit manufactured a range of products including trunk boxes for Navy personnel. Half a century back, when aluminium was relatively unknown in Kerala, Mohamed Kunju foresaw the vast potential of the new-age metal. He started aluminium trading in the 1970s.
What started as a small trading firm at Market Road, the business hub of Cochin, has today become a giant in retail and wholesale Aluminium trading in the state, providing complete solutions to the country’s diverse Aluminium needs. Oralium is one of the biggest distributors and dealers in India. With a rich history spanning more than five decades, Oralium has grown from humble beginnings into one of the most sought-after brands and market leaders in various infrastructural product segments. While its technology and business activities have evolved, a foundation of strong leadership and product innovation has remained a constant throughout Oralium’s history and remains just as important today as it was earlier.
