MRF Sports Division - Pioneering cricket bat manufacturing and sports gear innovation from Chennai, India to the world.
A legacy of quality and innovation in sports manufacturing spanning over seven decades.
Founded in 1946 in Chennai (formerly Madras), India, MRF Limited began as a small toy balloon manufacturing unit. Under the visionary leadership of K. M. Mammen Mappillai, the company diversified into various sectors, with the Sports Division emerging as a global leader in cricket equipment.
The MRF Sports Division was formally established in 1970, recognizing the growing demand for quality sports equipment in India and internationally. Our first cricket bat workshop was set up in Chennai with craftsmen trained in traditional bat-making techniques combined with modern engineering principles.
Today, MRF bats are wielded by some of the world's finest cricketers, a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and performance. Each MRF cricket bat represents over 200 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, from selecting the finest English willow to the final finishing touches.
