Our Story
About RedGold and Darsh Industries Limited
For more than two decades, RedGold has been at the forefront of crafting exquisite condiments in Tanzania. Our legacy, built on dedication to taste, quality, and culinary excellence, has firmly positioned us as a beloved brand throughout the region. Every RedGold product embodies our relentless passion for culinary perfection.
Established in 1999, Darsh Industries Limited began its remarkable journey in the Themi industrial district of Arusha. What started as a modest tomato ketchup venture under the visionary guidance of Mr. Pandit soon expanded. Identifying a niche, we introduced Tanzania to tomato paste and concentrate, paving the way for the celebrated RedGold brand.
Our accolade as East Africa’s exclusive manufacturer of tomato concentrate speaks to our pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment. We pride ourselves on being a beacon of trust and quality, empowering culinary enthusiasts to craft dishes rich in flavor and nourishment.
From our origins, we have grown into a dominant force in the fruits and vegetables manufacturing sector. Our dedication to unmatched quality and ceaseless innovation has been the cornerstone of our sustained growth over the years. Founder Mr. Pandit’s philosophy—that everyone deserves access to premium yet affordable products—anchors our values and mission, making RedGold a household name.
