The business began to operate in 1990, distributing incense wands and perfumed essences imported from India. The main distribution channel was through herbalist shops.
In short, Himalaya met with gradually increasing interest on the part of the general public and of operators in the sector.

Business organization
The group is composed of two companies: Himalaya srl Italia, with head offices in Rome, and Himalaya U.K. Ltd with head offices in London. The annual turnover amounts to more than one million Euro.

Total transparency
All the products in the various lines are made without employing child labor and without using any toxic substances.

Something to be proud of
Our production of perfumed essences is one of the few in Italy that can boast certification by IFRA, a recognized international organization that develops guidelines for quality standards with a view to regulating the perfume making sector.

The inspiring principles
Our company is the official importer for Italy of the products under the Auroville trade name, after the "universal village" project, under the auspices of the UNESCO, that is inspired by the teachings of the master and seer Aurobindo, who envisaged a balanced promotion of human beings based on evolutionary change.
Himalaya gives priority to the use of environment-friendly paper for its packaging and recycles all its packaging materials; no spontaneously growing trees have been cut to make the wooden accessories. Every year a part of the profits are reinvested in humanitarian schemes in Auroville.

Product ranges
We are currently the exclusive distributors for the Italian and British markets of the Maroma of Auroville trademark: ambient perfumes, essential oils, pot pourri, incense wands, air diffusers, incense-holders and artistic articles, perfumed sachets and candles, natural insect repellents.

Distribution
Our products are available through the classic specialist channels, particularly the herbalists. In future, however, given the growing interest of the public in the topic of natural balance, we plan to expand our range of action to all those outlets that are not strictly herbalists but have an affinity with our products (e.g. environment-friendly furniture, fair trade, etc.).

Avant-garde technology
Himalaya can boast a considerable level of IT implementation, including Internet and e-commerce.
It is always online that it handles orders for its stores.
The Himalaya logistics services are entrusted to the FIEGE-GOTH group, one of the European warehousing leaders with a unique expertise in this sector.
