To this end, our manufacturing facility is situated in Tenkasi, a hamlet in the heart of the luxuriant Southern Indian plains. Blessed with a climate that is conducive to rich fertility, Tenkasi is one of the most sumptuous coconut-growing belts in the Indian sub-continent. Its strategic location enables our facility to avail of a wealth of resources in the form of superior coconut husk, which forms an integral part of our raw material.

Coconut husk, which is a by-product of the prosperous coir industry in Tenkasi, is first soaked in water and stripped of its fiber. The coir-pith or coir dust remains unused and forms a by-product of the fibre factory process. The pith is then put through rigourous particle separation in order to remove large fibers and maintain uniformity in size of the grains. The size of the sieve employed for the process is determined by the particle size of the final product in keeping with client requirements.

The raw material is primarily processed to check its EC, pH and levels of sand content. Only the material that passes the test goes through the chemical purification procedure. This is followed by a process control test, which further checks for EC and pH content. All the rejected raw material is duly sent back for another round of chemical purification.

After an exacting process of particle separation and moisture level treatment, the material undergoes a process check for bulk density. The product that passes the test enters the drying process followed by another check for BD and EC. On passing, it undergoes Microbial and physical purification before heading for one final quality test succeeding which the product is packaged.

The coir is then compressed into bricks, bales or a plain powdered form to facilitate and simplify the shipping of the product for export purposes. Immersing it in a measured quantity of water enlarges the composted and compressed coir pith, making it fluffy and ready to use in agriculture.

Marson also undertakes the manufacture of products as per client requirements in bulk orders, effectively tailoring the product to suit the crops for which the medium is used.
