Kurlon is into the business of pure comfort. A head start in the business in 1962 by Late. Shri.

Tonse Ramesh Upendra Pai, it is now looking into an extensive brand extension and a complete makeover from sleep comfort, to home comfort. To give its expanding activities a definite direction and wider dimension, Kurlon Limited is reposting itself as a major player in the comfort industry rather than a leader in just the mattress business. Thus operating on a larger canvas, the company will have more room to grow, and will manufacture a whole wide range of trusted quality products for its customers.

History
Kurlon Limited, a Manipal Group Company came into existence in 1962. The Company was then called Karnataka Consumer Products Ltd and on the 8th of December, 1995 the company was renamed as Kurlon Limited. Kurlon is part of the 2,000 crore Manipal Group of Companies founded by the Pais of Manipal which is a major financial and industrial group in India. The group has its activities spread over financial services, manufacturing, education, electronic commerce, software services, share booking, etc. The group is headed by Mr. Sudhakar Pai who is the Chairman of the group. Mr. Pai is on the board of several well-known industrial, commercial and educational enterprises. Kurlon was conceived when Mr. Pai was in Germany in 1962. He found that car seat cushions were manufactured of rubberized coir. The manufacturer was improving curled coir from Sri Lanka. In India, the coir industry has developed very well, mostly in Kerala where they produce Retted Fiber. Green husks of coconut are immersed in the salty backwards for 10 to 12 months and the retted husk is supplied to various homes

to make Mats and Matting rolls after producing the yam from this fiber. This has created employment to many women in the state. Austrian technology was available to extract fiber from the dried coconut husk and curl it into ropes and keep it in that state for minimum 3 months. When uncurled, they become tiny springs. The cars manufactured in India in 60s were very few in numbers. It was uneconomical to start the molded product out of the rubberized coir to manufacture car seat cushions. After a lot of experiments and quality control steps, Mr.Ramesh Pai thought of entering into Rubberized coir mattress manufacturing. Thus Kurlon was born, become one of the popular mattresses providing restful sleep to millions of Indian consumers. Today, Kurlon has created direct employment to over 1000 people and indirect employment to lakhs of coir workers across the sub-continent . Kurlons success is built on a solid infrastructure and its powerful marketing strength. The Company has 44 sales offices, which are profit centers, strategically located all over the country. All the centers are working on trade terms. The Company products are exported to West Asia viz; U.A.E., Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, UK, Europe, South and East of Africa, Indian Ocean rim, SAARC, South East and Far East Countries. Kurlon Ltd. is the brand leader in the industry and has acquired major market share in the branded mattresses segment.
