At Kumar, we’ve invested in the future with the launch of the OM Innovation Centre —our technology insight, advancement, and collaboration hub in Mumbai. Named to honour our founder, Onkarnath Manaktala, the Centre positions us as a global innovator in oils and fats process engineering. Here, our engineers and technologists focus on emerging technologies and data-driven solutions to solve oil extraction and refining challenges. Their mandate is clear: to help customers achieve oil and meal quality that consistently surpasses expectations.

The OM Innovation Centre is also a resource for our customers to test, validate, and refine ideas. Equipped with a fully functional, instrumented pilot plant covering preparation, extraction, and refining, it allows for real-world trials in a controlled environment—bridging the gap between concept and scale-up.
