Our Legacy
The story of EVM Group began in 1952, when the late Mr. E. V.

Through dedication, integrity, and visionary leadership, the company steadily expanded into multiple industries, becoming one of Kerala's leading business groups.
Today, with more than seven decades of excellence, EVM continues to thrive under the leadership of Dr. Xavier Mathew, who joined the family business after completing his medical studies in Rome, and the third generation, Mr. Thejus Xavier, Managing Director. Their leadership continues the founding vision of delivering quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction across every business venture.
