Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
This Calcutta-based jute mill company was floated in 1883 as a result of funds built up by its parent company, the Samnuggur Jute Factory Co Ltd. Thomas Duff & Co Ltd acted as agents for the Company from this time. In 1969 Titaghur Jute Factory Co Ltd became the parent company in a group formed by a merger with the Samnuggur Jute Factory Co Ltd and the Victoria Jute Factory Co Ltd with the Angus Company Ltd as a subsidiary. In 1972 Titaghur Jute Factory Co Ltd acquired the Dundee companies of Hardie and Smith Ltd, Dundee Brattice and Waterproofing Co Ltd, and A & S Henry & Co (Dundee) Ltd.
Control and management of the company transferred from Dundee to Calcutta in 1976, and the Titaghur Group Head Office removed to premises at Hardie and Smith's Baltic Works; Meadow House, the original offices, was sold at this time. In 1978 Titaghur Jute Factory Co Ltd sold 51% of its interest in A & S Henry & Co (Dundee) Ltd (and its subsidiaries) to Asiatic Jute Co Boston, and the following year new articles of association were adopted by the Company.
