Remember Frooti and Parle-G? No Indian would need any introduction to these products. They come from the house of Parle, an Indian food company.
20-20, Magix, Melody, Mango Bite, Poppins, Monaco, Krack Jack, Appy and many others too are produced by Parle. Owned by the Chauhan family, the company started in 1929.
The founding members learnt the skills of confectionery making from Germany. Their equipment too were German. Parle started with orange candy and other toffees and later branched out to making biscuits.
Parle-G was a grand success that made Parle a household name. Today, Parle owns a dominant share of the Indian biscuit market.
Parle split into three separate units that used the original name- Parle Products, Parle Agro and Parle Bisleri.
The three together produce a range of items that include biscuits, toffees and beverages.
