History of Baking at Himalaya

Himalaya Bake & confectioners Pvt Ltd, Alappuzha, has now entered upon a new phase in the baking history in South Kerala. Backed by 65 years of experience in the baking industry since its inception in 1948, Himalaya Bakers, has grown into a full- fledged bakery products manufacturer, operating from a well equipped state of the art technology production Unit , spanning across 125 cents of land, with over 150 well trained baking hands   and over 20 high tec machines.

Our success lies in our commitment towards quality and service which we have upheld for the last 65 years. We have the capabilities to meet even the most stringent quality requirements to help our customers improve their sales, protect their margins and protect their business against competition. Our financial strength gives us bulk purchase capabilities to ensure our products are quality competitive. We are always at the forefront, in identifying, developing and introducing new products to enable our customers to have complete satisfaction.
History - Life is the mirror.
Consequent to the Second World War, there was a scarcity of food the world over and it was in such a time in 1944 our great grandfather C.Madhavan shared with his son C M.Kunjhupilla his vision of doing something to alleviate the food problem of the poor section of the society and this drove them to leave their traditional coir industry to turn to the baking domain in 1948.
And thus we made our first Moricha Rotty (Roasted bread) in Alappuza, Kerala. Even the little piece we baked looked bigger for the customers whose satisfaction we have ever since held high in every new product. Our motto has always been “make no waste of food and no compromise on quality”.
And we have come thus far on the footsteps of our founders and their customers who shared a time bound bond. Your visit to our shops with a wide variety of bread and cake and other crispy crunchy pieces will convince you of the love and care we have shared overtime. Now we have a new production unit with state of the art technology where you can see and feel how well we still preserve the age old trust and care placed in us.
We made our first Moricha Rotty (Roasted bread) in 1948 in Alleppey. We had to wait for one more year to make our first cake by our great master chef Mr. George. And yet another year had elapsed before we were able to market it since most of the people here had no idea of what a cake really tasted like. Gradually we built upon the small chunks of people who took to the taste of it and expanded the customer base.
The first recipe went through so many sleepless hours of thought at the edible work of art to be perfected by the final touches by our great founder Mr. C.M. Kunhjupilla.
Mr. George joined us in his twenties and was with us till his death at the age of 74. And he has left his mark of craftsmanship in every hand at the table with him throughout his fifty years of service.
 So his memories can’t but get baked into the history of the firm. That is why with the very same masterful feeling we still follow the recipe improved upon with state of the art technology, without losing even a little bit of the marvelously delicious aroma of the master’s cake.
Your eating the cake will make our talk of it sound true as the saying goes “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”.
