Brief history enlists the following;

  • FIT was initially established as a Kerala Government Undertaking under the Department of Industries. It was registered with the Registrar of Companies and as a Small-Scale Industry (SSI) Unit. In 1960, the organization became a Kerala Government Company. Originally, FIT served as the agency for FACT to produce wood from the Kerala Forest Department. However, after 1962, FACT changed its processes, leading to the discontinuation of this relationship by 1963.
