From humble beginnings to a leader in plastic molding, Century Polymers has continuously evolved, embracing innovation and sustainability. Below is a brief timeline of our major milestones.
We began our company in a humble 200 sq. ft. space, equipped with minimal working capital and offering just three products. This modest start laid the foundation for the remarkable journey that followed, driven by our vision and determination to grow.
We expanded our offerings by adding three more products to our lineup, steadily growing our range to meet the evolving needs of our customers. This marked the beginning of our product development journey
We acquired 21 cents of land in Veranoor, where we built our very first production house. This pivotal step allowed us to scale our operations and move towards fulfilling larger demands.
We laid the foundation stone for Century Polymers in Veranoor, marking a significant milestone in our journey toward establishing a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and expanding our production capabilities.
We received an order for 20,000 products and subsequently procured the necessary materials in large quantities to fulfill this demand.
We began distributing our products throughout India, but unfortunately, many of them sustained significant damage during transportation. As a result, several companies withdrew their orders, leading to substantial financial losses for the company, which persisted until 2011.
We partnered with Campco to fulfill an order of 100,000 pieces; however, we were unable to meet their requirements due to limitations in our production capacity at that time.
We secured a loan from Canara Bank to finance the construction of our own dedicated facility for manufacturing our products.
we successfully transitioned all operations to our new location, where we began manufacturing and shipping products. Recognizing the need for better coordination in marketing and sales, we hired Mr. Jafer Shah as our head marketing manager to enhance our market reach and drive sales growth.
We further expanded our product range by adding 25 new items to our portfolio, and in a key move to enhance our logistics, we acquired our first truck for efficient shipment and transportation
We expanded our product line by introducing a variety of new offerings, and reached another milestone with the construction of our office, designed to streamline and optimize all operational processes.
Addition of one more machinery to increase our production capacity
Another significant milestone in our journey was the establishment of Century Polymers’ sister company in Kulakkada, Kollam, further expanding our operational footprint and capabilities.
The construction of Century Polymers’ sister company, Century Polytech, was completed, and production has commenced. However, we have not yet been able to fully meet customer demands. In response, we established a dedicated R&D department with the aim of developing products that remain unbreakable during extended transit.
In response to the increasing demand from our customers, we replaced all of our outdated machinery with state-of-the-art equipment and made several strategic additions to our production capabilities. This upgrade has enabled us to better meet market needs and enhance overall efficiency.
We initiated discussions for the integration of UPS and Servo technologies and began planning the construction of a warehouse adjacent to our plant. Despite the challenges posed by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which halted production, we remained committed to advancing our research and development efforts without interruption. We initiated discussions on acquiring land to build a warehouse, a strategic move aimed at enhancing our storage and distribution capabilities to support our growing production demands.
We have acquired additional land adjacent to our facility to expand both our production and storage capacities. Moreover, we have established an in-house tool room, enabling us to efficiently repair our own molds, further streamlining operations.
We laid the foundation stone for our warehouse, a key step in expanding our infrastructure to improve storage and streamline the logistics of our operations. This marked another milestone in our growth and commitment to efficiency
We achieved a significant breakthrough in developing unbreakable products, and while we’ve experienced partial success so far, we’re continuing to refine the process. Additionally, we have expanded our reach by entering international markets through a strategic partnership with Pleasant Foods.
We acquired land at a different location for our future ventures and we successfully launched our corporate office and warehouse, significantly enhancing our operational efficiency and providing a solid foundation for our continued growth and expansion in the industry
We finally succeeded in making our products unbreakable and now 70% of our products are unbreakable and by the end of this year we are planning to make our entire list of products unbreakable. Additionally, we have invested in advanced machinery designed for the precise creation of cavities, further enhancing our production capabilities.
