About Us
The Management
Tuticorin Salt & Marine Chemicals Ltd was founded by late Shri. Marthi. R. Mannariah, during the year 1918 in Tuticorin, a Port city in South India. It was incorporated as a Public Limited Company during 1946.
After him, his son Shri. Marthi. M. Subrahmanyam took over the affairs of the company and the company saw a very straight forward entrepreneur who set high standards in maintaining the quality of salt.
Then, Shri. M.S. Prakash, a law graduate, took over the helm of affairs. He was instrumental in modernizing the salt works and during the year 1995-96, a state-of- art Free Flow Iodized Salt Refinery was installed using Swiss Technology.
Now, Shri. M.P. Dileep & Shri. M.P. Deepak, the fourth generation entrepreneurs and who are engineering graduates, have joined the management and have implemented new and advanced technologies in scrapping and refining of Salt.
