Laxmi Soap Factory

Laxmi Soap Factory was established in the year 1958. But for the Ranglani family, the roots of soap manufacturing are traceable to the year 1910. Sheth Thakurdas Ranglani was based in Karachi when he initially started a soap-manufacturing unit . After partition, Thakurdas migrated to India and started a manufacturing unit in the year 1948.

Having worked hard, Sheth Thakurdas looked around and fixed his site in Pune and as a result Laxmi Soap Factory was setup in the year 1959. Sheth Thakurdas passed away in 1981 but the company still continues to flourish. To establish themselves in the competitive local market, it was necessary to introduce a product which would speak for its own quality. A number of experiments were conducted by Shri Ramchand Thakurdas Ranglani and the fruitful outcome was "Foaran". This brand was introduced to the consumers in 1973.
