List of companies in Mangalore with contact details

Port, refinery, cashew and tiles: Mangalore's business mix

Search for a list of companies in Mangalore and most of what comes up is written for job seekers: the refinery, the port and a handful of large employers. That helps if you want a job. If you want customers, you need the smaller firms that buy something every month, and Mangaluru, as the city is officially spelt, has a mix you will not find in inland Karnataka:

• Port and refinery: New Mangalore Port and the MRPL refinery lie north of the city centre. Around them work shipping agents, customs brokers, container transporters, fabricators and maintenance contractors.
• Baikampady: the KIADB industrial area at Baikampady, close to the port, holds a varied set of small and mid-sized units.
• Cashew: processing units that shell, grade and pack kernels, many of them selling abroad as well as in India.
• Fisheries: boat owners, fish traders, ice plants, cold storages and seafood processors along the coast.
• Tiles: the clay roofing tile known across India as the Mangalore tile was first made here, and tile works still operate in the region.
• Banking and services: Canara Bank, Karnataka Bank and Corporation Bank were all founded in the region. Finance is still part of the city's working life, alongside hotels, travel agents, clinics and shops.

Pick your segment before you pick a list. A carton maker chasing cashew exporters and a software firm selling to clinics want very different rows.

Free records on Mangalore firms, and where they stop

• MCA master data shows a company's or LLP's status, directors and registered office, one search at a time. Proprietors and partnership firms, which include many traders, fish businesses and shops, are not in it.
• KIADB (Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board) publishes details of its industrial areas, Baikampady among them. You learn where the plots are, not who answers the phone.
• Tender notices from the port and MRPL show what these large buyers purchase. They seldom say which local firms win the work.
• The District Industries Centre for Dakshina Kannada, whose headquarters is Mangaluru, runs the state's MSME schemes. The local chamber of commerce and trade associations keep member records, mostly shared with members only.

Whatever name you find, confirm it before you extend credit. Our guide to MCA, GST and Udyam searches shows the checks.

• Ice plant equipment, cold storage, marine engine and fishing net suppliers for the fishing trade.
• Safety gear, scaffolding, industrial gas and repair firms that work for contractors around the refinery and the port.

Calling and visiting firms in Mangaluru

1. Treat the city as two trips. Keep the central business streets for one day, and the northern side, with the port, Baikampady and the refinery towards Surathkal, for another.
2. Expect several languages. Tulu, Konkani, Kannada, Beary and Malayalam are all spoken in the city, and English is common in offices. Open in English or Kannada, then follow the owner's lead.
3. Work around the monsoon. The coast gets very heavy rain from about June to September, and fishing largely stops during the annual monsoon ban. Approach the fishing trade before the ban or as the boats get ready to go out again.
4. Say what you supply in the first sentence. For example: "Good morning, I supply printed tins and cartons to cashew units around Mangaluru. Who looks after packing material at your end?"
5. Get registered with the big buyers. The port and the refinery buy through tenders and approved vendors; the vendor registration guide explains the paperwork. Their contractors are often the quicker first sale.
6. Check the calling rules. Read our DND checks guide before any promotional call or SMS.

Which are the main industries in Mangalore?

The port and the MRPL refinery, the units of the KIADB Baikampady industrial area, cashew processing, fisheries and seafood, and clay roofing tiles. Banking, hotels, clinics, builders and retail make up much of the rest.
