Kandagiri Sprinning Mills Ltd, Salem

We are over in Salem, specifically in the 3rd Ward of Rajiv Gandhi Nagar. If you are looking for us, we’re near the Dalmia Board landmark, which is how most people find their way here in Vellakalpatti. This is a spinning mill, so it’s usually quite loud with the machines running all day. The air has that smell of cotton and machinery that you get in this part of Tamil Nadu. G. Vaithiya Nathan is one of the names you’ll hear around here often. We have a lot of local workers from the surrounding villages who come in for their shifts. It’s a factory environment, so things are a bit messy sometimes, and there’s always something that needs fixing or adjusting. We don’t have a fancy showroom. We focus on the yarn and the spinning process itself. Most of our days are spent checking the bobbins and making sure the spindles are turning right. It’s a 636012 area code life, where the sun gets pretty hot in the afternoons and we all look forward to the tea break. We aren't interested in sounding like a big multinational. We’re just a local mill in Salem doing our part in the textile chain. It’s hard work, and the floors are often covered in lint, but that’s just how a spinning mill is. We just keep the motors running and get the bags of yarn ready for the trucks.
