About Calpro Foods
Our History
Calpro Food Essentials is a New Delhi based company engaged in manufacturing and marketing of premium and specialty bakery ingredients.
Calpro’s parent company is Saraswati Offset Printers and has been in printing business since 1966. Saraswati is one of the largest offset printing presses in northern India, specializing in printing of text books for educational institutions like NCERT, IGNOU. Besides this it used to print waxed bread wrappers for Modern Food Industries, a Govt. of India owned bread manufacturing company back in 1970’s and 1980s’.
CEO of Saraswati Offset Mr. Arun Agrawal found out that Modern Food Industries was looking for a product named Calcium Propionate which was used to elongate shelf life of making breads. Having background in Chemistry, the CEO got interested and explored the possibility of making it. He made a proposal to Modern Foods that was accepted and thus Calpro was formed in early 1980s. If you notice, Calpro originates its name from CALcium PROpionate.
Till about 90’s Calpro was selling only Calcium propionate to bakeries. When Mr. Amit Agrawal joined the business in 1995, he realized that Calpro cannot grow selling only one product. He thus added a large range of products for variety baking.
Around year 2001, Calpro tied up with several international companies and added a wide range of pastry, confectionery and breads also. From being only bread preservative company, Calpro transformed to a bakery ingredients company with a very wide range of products.
As the product line grew it became necessary to break the company into two so that it can focus on different categories and thus Calpro Food Essentials and Calpro Specialties were formed in the year 2007. While Calpro Food Essentials continue to grow into baking, Calpro Specialties diversified into dairy products. Calpro now operates out of a new modern facility of about 60000 sq.ft. area with all modern certifications.
