MRF’s origin traces back to the humble shack in Madras that housed its first makeshift toy balloon manufacturing unit set up by KM Mammen Mappillai in 1946. It was not until 1952 when it changed course and turned to tread rubber manufacturing. Thus began its glorious reign as the undisputed leader in the tyre making industry.

​

By the early 60’s, MRF was exporting its quality tyres to offices overseas in multiple countries and soon its presence was known globally in 65 different countries – with tyres rolling out of 8 facilities built across 450 acres, 4000 plus strong dealer networks and 180 different offices.
