The A.R.R. Group was founded in the year 1947, by late Sri. A.R.Ramaswamy, Ex. Member of Legislative Assembly, Tamil Nadu and Ex. Chairman of Kumbakonam Municipality. It is the basic Culture, Tradition and Custom of the Tamilians to use Betels with Seeval (sliced Arecanut / Betelnut) for extending hospitality to the guest and exchanging the same at auspicious occasions like betrothal, marriage etc., So, our beloved founder selected “SEEVAL (Arecanut Slices)” as the first product of this group with an initial investment of around half a lakh rupees with six workers. The product which was made manually was very thick and less smooth, which restricted the users of Seeval. Later in 1950’s, the operation was modernized by introducing the electrically driven slicing machines, which is the first of its kind. We are the pioneers in inventing this Arecanut Slicing Machine which made the product thinner and hence softer for chewing.

Gradually the company grew up and now it has diversified itself into a number of allied units and has acquired the name of A.R.R. Group of Companies. Now our investment has exceeded several billions and it is managed by our Managing Director, Seva Ratna, Chev. Sir. Dr. K.S.Subhramaniyam, M.B.A., Ph.D., As far as the manpower is concerned, at present, we employ over 300 workers for manufacturing a wide range of products, ranging from Chewing Products like Seeval, Scented Supari and Mouth Fresheners to Food Products like Wheat and Rice Vermicelli varieties, Wheat Flour varieties, Masala Powder varieties, Instant Paste and Mix varieties, Pickle varieties, Pappad and Vadam varieties, Iodised Free Flow & Crystal Salt varieties.
