About Us
The patriarch founder, the Late Khanchand Vaswani, initially opened a small textile shop named Toko Vaswani in 1948 in Malang and effectively planted the first roots of the current Group. The shop was then shifted to a bigger place in 1950 and renamed as Toko Tolaram.
Mohan, his only son and the current Chairman, joined his father in 1957. He was instrumental in growing the business beyond a small textile shop into a retail outlet of a wider range of fabrics, home textiles and garments. Toko Tolaram then gained fame as the choice retail outlet of the region.
The current Vice Chairman, Vishamkar Adnani, a cousin of Mohan, joined Tolaram in the early sixties and together the second-generation partnership created a formidable importation, wholesale, retail, manufacturing and exports of textiles business in Indonesia headquartered in Surabaya.
A procurement and financing hub was started in Singapore in 1967 and rapid international growth followed with significant milestones :
1977 Nigeria where the Group began trading and eventually manufacturing
1980 USA where an ailing yarn mill was acquired and sold after successful turnaround
1995 Estonia where old textile and pulp & paper manufacturing plants were bought from the state
