History
The history of Star is the history of PVC Fittings production in South India. It all began in 1984 when Mr. P.K. Paul, an enterprising young man with a dynamic and darning vision, started a small PVC Fittings production unit in Trichur, Kerala. His aim was to manufacture High Quality PVC Pipe Fittings and market them at reasonable prices. Till then this field was dominated by giant North Indian companies, but Mr. Paul fought against all odds and soon carved a niche for his products to start within the Kerala market. Within a short span of time, his company made inroads into the South and North Indian markets.

Mr. P.K. Paul- Founder of Star Group of Companies
In 1988 Star became the first PVC Pipe Fittings manufacturer in South India to have received the prestigious ISI Mark for quality. This was followed by the second phase of market expansion, which found star setting up offices in various states and emerging as one to the major players in its field. In 1994 Star began the production and marketing of Flexible Hoses under the brand name Starflex. To cope with the new responsibilities, Mr. Paul inducted Mr. Bobby Paul his eldest son. Though a loving father, Mr. Paul believed that his son should work his way up and prove his mettle. Mr. Bobby Paul took on the challenge. He supervised production, logistics etc and traveled far and wide as business executive. Taking advantage of the winds of globalization, Star forayed into the global market and started export to various countries like Qatar,
, Bahrain,UAE etc. But the year 1998 was also marked by the untimely demise of Mr. P. K. Paul, the great visionary. Naturally, the mantle fell on Mr. Bobby Paul. He along with his brother Mr. Antio Paul, who was handling the overseas operations and technological affairs of the company, took up the reigns.
In 2000, to take advantage of globalization, Star set up a core team and applied for ISO Certification. In the same year Mr. Bobby Paul was awarded the Coveted Quality Summit Award 2000 by the Business Initiative Directions, New York. Meeting the standards of TUV, Germany, the auditing body, was no mean task. But perseverance and hard work paid off. In August 2001 Star became the first PVC Fittings Manufacturer in South India to have received ISO 9002 Certification followed by conversation to ISO 9001: 2000.
