About Us
It was a dream decades ago,
It was a hope years ago,
Today it's our pleasure to introduce:
India Foods
Foundation
The origins of India Foods dates back to Trends Pharma Pvt Ltd, a WHO-GMP and an ISO 9001 three decade old pharma formulation manufacturing Co. into human, animal health and foods formulation. As a diversification policy for a specialized division, Trends Pharma’s Foods Division was handed over to Mr. Sonar Parikh, a third generation entrepreneur who at the time had been a Director with the Co. handling production affairs of the pharma Plant to manage the Foods Division.
Later on sensing the need to have a strong base for Mfg and Mktg of Food Products he designed and established a new Foods Factory at Rajpipla, renaming the Division: India Foods.
Today, the India Foods Factory is spread on a sprawling green 6 acre plot having its manufacturing base in different kinds of sweeteners – like – sucralose, stevia, aspartame, etc. as well as other ready-to-drink premix foods and beverages.
India Foods, has its Corporate office at Mumbai and the Co’s mfg and mktg activities are managed from here.
India Foods infrastructure is supported by a team of professionals in various disciplines of Mfg, Quality Control, Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Mktg, Finance, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, and allied services and administration.
The Vision
Our lives are a continuous journey and
we must learn and grow at every bend
as we make our way, sometimes stumbling
but always moving towards the finest within us.
Manufacturing Facilities
India Foods manufacturing unit is based at Rajpipla, Gujarat – a picturesque town located between the cities of Baroda and Ankleshwar.
The Co. follows PFA guidelines as issued by the FDA, Foods Dept. situated at Bharuch.
The plant is spread on a huge sprawling 6 acres of plot and is a dedicated facility for manufacturing amongst other foods and beverages – sweeteners of different kinds – in tablets, sachets and granules.
Right from the time of Purchasing of Raw and Packing Materials from the approved list of vendors, the QC at the plant issues clearances towards incoming material and only once cleared that the materials are towed into the respective RM and PM stores.
Stores: The stores at the plant are divided into three zones:
- Raw Material Stores
- Packing Material Stores
- A/C Stores – again split into RM and PM stores for storing temperature sensitive Raw Materials as well as for storing Foils.
Manufacturing Section: To manufacture any batch, the Co. follows an in-house designed Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) that has to be issued – once dispensing operations are completed in presence of IPQC team, the material is dispatched for production.
The production team goes through the various processes of Granulation, Shifting, Mixing, Milling, etc. as the case may be for its products. At every stage, yield calculations are carried out, standard input output procedure norms are followed and QC issues an in-process release for the batch to proceed to the next level of manufacturing.
Once in the next level – like – Compression – in case of tablets or Filling – in case of sachets – line clearance is obtained from QC and only then the next stage commences.
Packing Department: Packing of numeric items is done with counters – so there are no shortfalls – along with volumetric counts – to avoid any kind of shortages. Before the final packing Semi Finished Product release is obtained from the QC and again at the packing lines – sorting and physical checking is done.
Once goods are packed and cleared for Dispatch, they are then sent to the Dispatch Room, from where Goods are loaded for their intended destination.
