Our Story in a
Nutshell
Started as a Rice & Coconut Oil Mill, it soon flourished, by exploiting to its benefit, the advantages of its location which was ideally suited for the nature of the industry with availability of raw materials in plenty and easy access for transportation both through surface and water. Foreseeing the long-term advantage, the promoters later, in the course of business discontinued with Rice and concentrated more on Coconut Oil. At present KPL oil Mills Ltd has the constitution of a Private limited Company under the Companies Act 1956 (Amendment Act, 2001).

Coconut oil is easily digested and is not deposited as fat in arteries because it is metabolized directly without passing through the carnitine transport system. In fact, the evidence points to coconut oil as being a healthy oil.
Unrefined coconut oil is a saturated fat and beause of this is a stable fat that is non-toxic when heated - it doesn't become a trans fat or create harmful free radicals.
