SRF Overview

We are a multi-business entity with multiple products for multiple applications.

We always find a better way

Since SRF’s incorporation in 1970 and the subsequent establishment of our first plant in Manali, near Chennai, India in 1974, we have grown from being a single unit tyre cord manufacturer into a leading, professionally–managed, diversified chemicals conglomerate.

Our core strength lies in our ability to diversify. Our vigour does not just lie in past achievements, but it is something we carry forward even today to achieve global leadership.

Our wide range of products and solutions are sold worldwide. These are used in varied applications and segments: from tyres to air conditioners, mines to cricket grounds, automotive to household appliances, food packaging to raw materials for pharmaceuticals. With our diverse portfolio, we strive to provide the highest quality of sustainable, industrial and specialty intermediates that contribute to a better way of life.

Our maxim – “We always find a better way” – is encapsulated not only in the products that we manufacture and the superior processes that we adopt, but also amply demonstrated in our penchant for innovation, technology leadership, employee engagement, professional management, transparent governance and inclusive growth.

There are always fresh ideas to be explored. No matter how good things are, there is scope to make it even better. Pursuing our passion for continuous improvement, we will seize each moment as an opportunity to create greater value.

That is our unrelenting commitment.

the promoters of

Lady Shri Ram College

LSR was established in 1956 by late Sir Shri Ram in memory of his wife. His commitment to the cause of education was not merely philanthropic but was integral to his idea of nation building.

LSR’s record of excellence and its pre-eminence in the field of higher education is well-known.

The Shri Ram Schools

The Shri Ram Schools was founded in 1988 by Padma Shri, late Mrs. Manju Bharat Ram. The schools follow her personal principle of promoting individuality through value-based education. She believed that while it is important to adopt a global outlook, it is equally imperative to respect the intrinsic Indian cultural traditions. Her guidance also led The Shri Ram Schools to lay great emphasis on inclusiveness.
