Manorama Industries expands global footprint with new factories, partnerships

Manorama Industries Limited (MIL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Burkina Faso to establish a new factory for processing shea nuts and mango kernels. This initiative will be managed by a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Manorama Burkina Industries SA, and aligns with Burkina Faso's industrialization policy, leveraging MIL's two-decade expertise in specialty fats and butters.

In a separate development, Manorama Latin America LTDA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIL, has entered into a strategic partnership with DEKEL Agroindustria (Dekel) in Brazil. This collaboration will enable MIL to become the first global Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE) producer to manufacture in Brazil, with production tentatively scheduled to begin in November 2025. Manorama will supply the necessary raw materials and utilize Dekel's facility in Itapolis, Sao Paulo.

These moves are expected to enhance Manorama's international presence, improve operational efficiencies, and strengthen its supply chain management, particularly in the chocolate, confectionery, and cosmetic industries. MIL, established in 2005, specializes in manufacturing various CBEs and exotic fats.
