ABOUT ARACKATHARA GROUP

Trusted in rubber manufacturing,
since 1973.

What began in Kottayam as a single rubber works founded by Mr. P. T. Thomas has become one of India's most established manufacturers and exporters of rubber mats and floor coverings. Micro-cellular sheet and Hawai sole gave way, in the 1990s, to a complete focus on flooring — and, from 2011, to exports shipped under our own name.

Three generations later, the group operates as a partnership led by Mr. Ditto Jacob and Mr. Dijo Jacob, with production, testing, R&D and shipping held under one family standard.
