As the consumption of joineries like door frames, window frames, doors, panelling etc. in building construction is substantial, M/s Anugraha Builders established a wood working division during 1991. In this division, they implemented a pilot project to chemically treat & season plantation timber including rubber wood & to make prefabricated doors & windows for construction purposes and also other items like furniture components & brush handles for domestic consumption. They have been supplying their products to various builders / property developers in Madras, Bangalore, Cochin & Trivandrum. They have also exported rubber wood furniture components to Japan and Italy aggregating Rs 3.11 lakh as trial shipments during 1992-93.

Having established their operations in this pilot project, the promoters desired to enter the field in a full fledged way. Towards this end M/s Anugraha Wood Products Ltd has been established to take over this activity exclusively, as a separate entity. For this purpose the Comp. entered into an agreement on 31st March 1994 with M/s Anugraha Builders & as per this agreament they have taken over the entire wood working division of M/s Anugraha Builders.
