Noor Muhammed Noorsha, son of Kalliyath Khalid Haji, joined Kalliyath’s steel business in 1970. Aiming at a bigger market, he moved to Kochi in 1986. There Kalliyath grew in stature, becoming a wholesaler in a short time. In 2000, Noor Muhammed Noorsha along with his brother KM Abdul Gafoor started steel bar manufacturing units in Palakkad. For the first time in Kerala, in 2008, Kalliyath started production of TMT steel bars - a significant landmark in Kerala’s Iron and Steel industry. Today, Kalliyath is at the forefront of leading the industry to greater heights by introducing innovative steel products and revolutionary manufacturing process. Entering its centenary phase, Kalliyath has charted out its objectives and aims for the coming decade. Stepping up the current annual production of 2 lakhs metric tonnes, is one.
