It is a force to be reckoned with in the printing, packaging and paper converting sector with exports to Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and other countries besides local sales. It obviously did not start that way. Maganlal M. Chandaria founded the company in Mombasa in 1947.

The company manufactured paper drinking straws using a converting machine (operated by Mr. Chandaria himself), followed by the manufacture of adding machine rolls, toilet paper, teleprints and other products before the re-location to Nairobi in 1974. In 1985, the volumes of demand justified the installation of paper mill to manufacture various grades of paper and tissue. In 1987, the group purchased Kenya Paper Mills from Lonrho.

Madhupaper was added to the group in 1988. Tanpack Tissues in Tanzania is a recent addition to the group. The portfolio also includes Colour Packaging (which makes specialized products for a niche market), Guardian Bank, etc.
