Chellarams Plc is one of Nigeria’s oldest and most diversified conglomerates, with roots tracing back to 1923 when it started operations trading textiles. It was incorporated on August 13, 1947, and subsequently listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 1978.
The company operates two principal divisions: its industry & raw materials and consumer products & FMCG. With nearly a century of operations, Chellarams has built a broad trade network across Nigeria, specializing in supply chain excellence, customs brokerage, and logistics management. They offer temperature‑controlled warehousing, chemical blending and repacking facilities, and contract packaging services.
Chellarams’s long-standing partnerships, most notably the evolution of its dairy JV with Germany’s DMK Group, reflect its ability to scale through strategic alliances.
The Chellarams DMK venture grew out of a 25-year distribution relationship, now managing full dairy production and dairy brand distribution in Nigeria, with plans to enhance local production and distribution capability further.
As a conglomerate, Chellarams continues building an ambitious vision: operational excellence, expansion across Nigeria’s industrial and consumer sectors, and delivering household products to every Nigerian home.
