Nitta Gelatin India Ltd (NGIL), formerly Kerala Chemicals and Proteins Limited, a joint venture between KSIDC and Nitta Gelatin Incorporated Japan has bagged Capexil’s Top Export Awards for the year 2010-2011.

The award was in recognition of NGIL’s export achievement in respect of Ossein and Gelatine Panel. The award was given by Mr Jyotiraditya M Scindia, the Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry to Mr G.Suseelan, Managing Director, Nitta Gelatin India Limited (NGIL) in New Delhi.

NGIL has 5 manufacturing facilities in Kakkanad, Koratty, Baroda, Nagpur and Aroor. NGIL started it’s first plant in Koratty in Thrissur district, in the year 1979. NGIL is perhaps one of the few government promoted companies in India to foray into consumer marketing by launching OTC products. This shift of strategy from B2B to B2C has given NGIL a thorough understanding of the dynamics of marketing and consumer perception and behaviour.

The company’s track record and ethical operations have made everyone understand that NGIL is a company to be reckoned with. Every year, NGIL brings in valuable foreign exchange which now exceeds Rs100crore. NGIL hopes to close the fiscal of 2011-12 with a turnover of around Rs250crore. On the CSR front, NGIL has initiated many activities to engage the local population and help the community in and around Koratty plant at Thrissur and Kakkanad in Ernakulam, a release said.
