BEGINNING 1937

Mrs. N. Fernandes began a small venture in 1937 when she offered a selection of her home-made pickles and preserves in the market of her Indian town of Pune. The immense popularity gained by these products led to the establishment of the firm where 'Ferns' became the product brand.

A FIRST

The growing company then started large scale manufacture of its products and developed a wide range of fruit and vegetable pickles and chutneys. Perception, innovation and enterprise once again made their mark when Ferns launched a new concept- wet condiment pastes. These catered to the changing needs of modern society and combined the excellence of tradition with the convenience of ready-to-use 'masalas'.  

GLOBE TROTTING

A taste for exotic Indian fare created a demand from overseas. Ferns products were then exported to England by merchant agencies in Bombay.  

QUALITY, OUR TRADITION

Today 'Ferns' uses improved, sophisticated and efficient processes for the manufacture of their products. The unique processing method employed gives its products their special flavour and ensures a high standard of safety and hygiene. Quality is controlled at every stage- from the purchase of fresh ingredients to the final packaging- in order to maintain a consistent quality standard.

The year 2002  crosses another milestone- HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Program) certification from DNV (Det Norske Veritas).
