Most of us today would fail to fathom a childhood where Kores products hadn’t fancied itself among our much treasured little stationery. One could definitely recollect cherishing those color pens & geometry boxes, correctors to carbon papers and glue sticks. Creating a revolution then, under the headship of Shri Krishnalal Thirani, Founder Chairman of Kores(India), the company had lionized its mark within the stationery industry striding over a history that went back to 1932 when its first office in India was launched by Wilhelm Koreska in Kolkata (officially established in Vienna in 1887). Kores never failed to be a part of student success ever since and now stands at an all rise phase of striking a tryst with success yet again at the corporate level. Striding on rigorous market research to identify, select and launch industrial relevant products, considering latent needs, technology and value proposition with a PAN India service network, Kores proves to be the perfect stepping stone to a company’s prosperity.

Kores entered the business automation industry to exclusively offer solutions for various industry applications with the customer at its focal, boasting of unprecedented quality standards and innovations. Harshal Dunakhe, COO, Kores, Business Automation division, states, “In an age where business and customers are getting increasingly interlinked, we formed to

bridge the gap between both. We bring the legacy and products of an 80year old brand onto the internet to enable our dealers,channels partners and end users to use the service, and choose from a range of office automation and business products.” Recognizing the need for a connected, modern office, Kores sells India specific products that enable workplaces to work faster, boosting safety and productivity as prime.
