Nanco Hosiery Mills

Nanco Hosiery Mills is located at Sf No. 363 / 1 in the Thanneer Panthal Colony, just off the busy Avinashi Road. Being situated near the Anupparpalayam Post means we see a lot of the local traffic and the constant hustle of this part of town. It’s a very practical, industrial sort of setup, so don’t expect anything too polished or pretty when you walk in. We have the machines running pretty much all day long, and that constant hum becomes something you don’t even notice after a few weeks of working here. The floors are usually covered with little bits of thread and fabric scraps, no matter how many times we try to sweep them up. It’s just the nature of working with hosiery and textiles. We have a small group of workers who have been doing this for years and years. They know these machines better than anyone else ever could. Sometimes things break down or a shipment of yarn is late, and we just have to figure it out as we go along. It’s definitely not a corporate environment. We eat our lunch together and talk about whatever is going on in the colony or with our families. Avinashi Road can get really backed up at certain times of the day, so getting things in and out takes a lot of planning. We don't spend money on fancy signs or marketing stuff. Most people around here just know us by our building and the work we do. It’s a practical life, and we’re just trying to keep the machines humming and the orders moving along.
