Karim, who after thorough research and extensive study discovered the potential for edible vegetable cooking oil in Malawi. The head office is situated at Chirimba Industrial Site on the outskirts of Blantyre, Malawi. CORI was the first Company to lay its foundation in the virgin bush of Chirimba. It has another crushing and extraction plant at Makata Industrial Site within Blantyre.
