The Bell Foods Group of companies has a rich legacy that dates back to 1968 when the parent company, Bell Foods, was founded by Mr. Vikraman Puthusseril in Kochi, Kerala, India. Recognizing Kochi as the Hub of the Indian Seafood Industry and strategically situated near the Cochin Harbour and Cochin Port, Bell Foods became one of the pioneering companies in the region to process seafood for export to international markets.
Over the decades, under the brand “Ocean Bell,” the company has established itself as a leader in the seafood processing and export industry, renowned for its commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and value for money. Leveraging five decades of experience, Bell Foods has ventured into domestic markets to meet the expectations of all stakeholders.
The Bell Foods Group now encompasses several divisions, including Bell Exim Pvt Ltd, HT Foods Pvt Ltd, Bell Primax, Bell Neuvotech, BIRDS (Bell Institute of Research and Development Studies), and Bell Farms and Resorts. Bell Exim, our core division, continues to drive growth through sustainable seafood processing and exports. In response to declining seafood catches and rapid industry changes, Bell Foods took a strategic leap in 2017 to expand its product line into value-added products.
This move was marked by the acquisition of HT Foods, an existing production unit specializing in burgers for the Russian market. Under Bell Foods’ management, HT Foods shifted focus to producing breaded shrimp and other value-added seafood products, which are now sold in markets such as the USA, Belgium, and Italy. Located in the Cochin Special Economic Zone (CSEZ), HT Foods benefits from duty-free operations and a streamlined production process, allowing the company to continuously innovate and develop new value-added products.
