About UsR. EXPO (erstwhile nomenclature¿ Mathur Perfumery Works) established in the year 1932, is one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of Natural Herbal Products - Oils, Perfumes, Soap & Shampoos, Moisturizing Lotion & Cream, Candles, Incense and other Aroma Products in the old-walled city of Delhi, India. With a vision and spirit of enterprise, and sole motive of customer satisfaction, the third generation of this family run business has seen a phenomenal growth in the recent past.
We are three brothers: Raj Kumar Mathur (eldest), Ashok Mathur (middle) and Shiv Kumar Mathur (youngest) and one sister¿ Raj Kumari Mathur (eldest of all). Our grandfather, Mr. Jagdamba Prashad Mathur¿ founded a very small manufacturing unit, named Mathur Perfumery Works in the year 1932. It was a modest beginning to produce products under specially devised formulae, with key ingredients being Natural products like herbs, plants, roots etc. His own personal formulations were liked very much in the local community. He never had any desire to do it on a large scale. He was more a family man than a businessman. He passed his art of making perfumes, massage and body oils, incense and herbal oils to his son, Mr. Durga Prashad Mathur. He just followed the techniques of his father and lived a very simple and non-entrepreneurial life. He was a very polite and generous person. His wife Mrs. Raj Rani Mathur used to assist and help him at the store while he was busy in manufacturing.
In the nineteen sixties, many foreigners were attracted to India and tourists from different parts of the world started to visit our store. We had simple and natural products to offer, which were highly appreciated that time. It was indeed a turning point with our products finding overwhelming response in the overseas markets, prompting us to extend and expand our business activities. R-Expo was then founded in the year 1972 with the motive to continue the good work of Mathur family and provide the finest quality to its customers. We started to receive small orders from all over the world. Soon these small orders turned into large ones. To cope with the volume of business, new production units were set up and innovative changes made in all areas of working, be it production, training of artisans or export handling.
The ever growing demand of the products prompted us to set-up a full fledged Branch in Seattle, U.S.A, to cater to the vast customer base in North America. However, Exports to rest of the world continue to be made from the same location set up by our grand father over 75 years back, with the small store now converted into multi-storeyed Showroom.
OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIETY: All our products are hand made and we feel proud that our business is now supporting more than ten thousand families in India. Our organization has adopted several children from distant villages of India who are very poor and/or lost one or both parents and are financially struggling for education. These children are provided with all necessities including school uniforms, stationary, school fees, transportation, extra tutoring, medical, vision and other necessities to prosper in their individual visions. |
