FOUNDATION
KN AGRI RESOURCES LIMITED was initially incorporated as ITARSI OILS & FLOURS PVT LIMITED on 13th January, 1987.
KN are the initials of Seth Nemichand Shrishrimal and his brother Seth Khemraj Shrishrimal, who laid the foundation of KN Group in 1930, by framing initial steps in the form of Rice milling business.
In 1960s, the group pioneered Rice Bran solvent extraction in India by setting up first such unit. Later soybean processing became the mainstay when our first unit was set up in 1987 by Mr. Vijay Shrishrimal.
Later on, the original name of the company was changed to ‘KN Agri Resources Ltd.’ in order to align with the ‘KN’ logo.
