Marking three decades of brand Gemini, Cargill opened the doors to its Kurkumbh plant in Maharashtra, offering a closer look at its world class manufacturing standards, stringent food safety and quality practices, while outlining plans to strengthen its edible oils business in India through its flagship consumer brand.
The visit was hosted by Dheeraj Talreja, vice president & managing director, Cargill Food South Asia, who shared Cargill’s growth priorities and strategic importance of Maharashtra market, where it is a market leader. Well-known Marathi actor Priya Bapat also joined the visit along with select consumers, influencers and media, adding her perspective as a long-standing consumer of the brand.
Maharashtra is a key market where the brand has strong presence and consumer base. With highest per capita GDP in the country, high consumption of multiple oils including sunflower, soybean, groundnut and cottonseed, Maharashtra is a strategically important geography and logistics backbone for its diversified portfolio of cooking oils. Cargill has had manufacturing presence in Kurkumbh, Maharashtra since 2005. This plant employs over 500 people (full time and contractual), engaged in refining and packaging the full range of oils.
“With a strong legacy of 30+ years behind us, Gemini is known for its unshakable consumer trust and superior product quality. As we look at the next 30 years, Gemini is transforming into a future ready edible oils brand, deeply rooted in India’s traditions, while evolving with modern consumers through premiumisation, digital engagement, and presence on next generation distribution channels,” concluded Talreja.
