Our History & Milestones – A Journey through Five Decades
- KSIE began its journey in 1973 as a Public Sector Undertaking with a clear mission: to revive and manage sick industrial units in Kerala. Over the years, this mission evolved as KSIE expanded into new sectors that supported the State’s growing industrial needs.
- In 1979, KSIE entered the logistics sector by taking charge of the Trivandrum Air Cargo operations. This expansion continued in 1995 with the addition of the Calicut Air Cargo Complex, strengthening Kerala’s position in international trade.
- In 2013, KSIE achieved another landmark by establishing the first public-sector Container Freight Station (CICFS) near Vallarpadam ICTT, offering essential infrastructure for efficient container handling and supply chain operations.
- KSIE also revived and strengthened the legacy of Kerala Soaps in 2010, bringing traditional, well-loved products like Kerala Sandal back to prominence.
- In recent years, KSIE partnered with ASAP to launch the Kerala Logistics and Allied Services Academy (KLAS), aimed at preparing a skilled workforce for the fast-growing logistics industry.
- Together, these milestones reflect KSIE’s journey of growth, diversification, and commitment to Kerala’s industrial future.
