The Gwalior Forest Products Ltd. is built on the foundation of 70 years of family owned and managed business success.   GFPL was incorporated in 1942 and established itself as Katha and Kutch manufacturing unit.   We are the leading and oldest manufacturer of Katha (Acacia Catechu extract) in India.   Katha is a food ingredient used in the Indian food industry and is derived from the heartwood of the Acacia Catechue tree.

Today, GFP's portfolio includes standardized herbal active ingredients, nutraceuticals, phytochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients.  Seventy years of experience in highly functional botanical extracts enables us to manufacture products that are safer, better in quality and therefore more effective.

The company is located in the picturesque town of Shivpuri in Madhya Pradesh, 400 km south of New Delhi on NH3 (Agra Bombay Highway).   Situated in the middle of India’s forested heartland, GFP’s proximity to various raw materials and forest produce allows for strategic sourcing and close monitoring of the produce.

We have come a long way since 1942.   Today GFPL manufactures ingredients which are sold to customers globally and we are proud of our manufacturing heritage.
