The worldwide demand for India’s rich fabrics, woven with expertise has propelled the market growth for cotton textiles. The domestic textile industry’s capacity to produce a diverse range of fabrics is another major factor driving the market growth. Amidst such an ongoing upsurge in the Indian textile industry, the demand for quality cotton yarn and premium cotton fabrics has been sky¬rocketing due to everchanging fashion trends and the need for functional fabrics for various applications has increased manifold. This is where Thiagarajar Mills and its sister company VTM came into being to manufacture India’s finest cotton yarn & fabrics through state-of-the-art technology in Spinning and Weaving.

Being a Madurai based textile manufacturing company, Thiagarajar Mills is one of India’s prime exporters of fine count cotton yarn. Since its inception in 1935, Thiagarajar Mills is engaged in the production of very high quality yarns focussing to cater to the premium woven shirting fabrics, yarn dyed and piece dyed fabrics market.

There are three distinct count groups such as fine & super fine counts for woven fabrics, Fine & Medium Fine Counts for woven and knitted fabrics and Coarse Counts in Open End yarns used in Denims, Terry Towels and Industrial Fabrics. The group consists of two Spinning units and one weaving unit. Being a pioneer in installing RIETER ComforSpin K44 and KTDM spinning machines for manufacturing compact yarn, Thiagarajar specializes in the production of a wide range of

yarn for multiple applications and premium yarn dyed and grey fabrics.

VTM (part of Thiagarajar group) manufactures cotton fabrics for fine cotton shirting, bottom-weight products and several fashion requirements. VTM produces fabrics for different kinds of bedsheets, duvets and pillowcases in thread counts ranging from 300 TC to 1200 TC.

The company has been certified with ISO 9002 for their stringent quality management systems. The Company has been constantly investing and improvising its manufacturing capacity through TQM, lean management, Kaizen & 5S. It is a 5s model company.

Array of Offerings
While gassed yarn is the special area of Thiagarajar’s expertise, they produce an extensive array of ring spun yarn, single and double yarn in the count range of 16s to 140s on conventional compact spinning machines. They have built a manufacturing infrastructure that is technologically advanced and is designed to control contamination by installing FR 900 clearers on autoconers.

Future Endeavours
Thiagarajar Mills & VTM are constantly motivated by their zeal to exceed customer’s expectation and to outlive the benchmark they set for themselves. “We added around 25,000 spindles three months ago. Now we are investing in a ground mounted solar project of 15 MW with the aim to become self sufficient in terms of our power requirement. We strongly believe renewable energy is the future for creating a sustainable supply chain", Thiagarajan further adds.
