Vimal Oil & Foods Ltd. (VOFL), the flagship company of the Vimal Group, was born
way back in 1993, in Mehsana, North Gujarat. While it is still headquartered at
Mehsana, it has setup offices at Delhi, Mumbai & Ahmedabad. What started off with
a small 50-ton Refinery, has today evolved into fully integrated, oil-processing
complex that is into seed crushing (200 TPD), solvent extraction (200 TPD) and oil
refining (300TPD).
The Company has an annual turnover of Rs. 630 Crores. It is listed on the
Ahmedabad and Bombay Stock Exchange.
Strategic Location
A major Advantage of VOFL is its strategic location. The company has intentionally
set up base bang in the middle of an oil-seed belt. This way, it is ensured of a
regular supply of raw material. Having a port close by is an added plus. Finally, its
location on a national Highway, Provides several logistic advantages.
But having a good Product is not enough – you need to tell the World about it. This is
why the Company regularly promotes its product through the print, outdoor and
electronic media. And also launches promotional schemes from time to time. When
you have a range like VOFL’s, it becomes imperative to create awareness about and
highlight each product.

26 depots, 950 distributors and over 5 lacks retail outlets. The Company now intends
to adopt a two-pronged approach of opening branches in untapped, potential
markets, and increasing the number of branches in territories where it has already
established its presence.

Our Ventures
Windmills have always been considered a clean - and – green means of generating
power. So as their contribution towards environmental conservation, the Company
installed them in the coastal area of Gujarat, way back in 1996. As fuel generally
accounts for a major chunk of production costs, this is also made sound business
sense, by acting as a shield against ever – spiraling fuel prices.
But the focus on the commercial aspects of their ventures has not made the
Company lose their human touch. The organization cares for its people, as much as
it does for its products. And when we say ‘people’, we refer to all its stakeholders:
the staff, suppliers, clients, shareholders… all the way to its end – users – the
customers. More so, as their products are meant for human consumption. Infect,
VOFL’s motto has always been to launch brands that will make…

community benefiting businesses. Consequently, Shri C.I.Patel and those who followed him aligned business
opportunities with the objective of community building. This approach remains enshrined in the Group's ethos to
