Sutharsan Knit Garments

Our place is at 13a Pappanna Nagar, right off Kongu Main Road. If you know Tirupur, you know this area is all about the sound of machines. Sutharsan Knit Garments is just one of many, but we take our corner seriously. The building is simple, and the floor is always covered in little bits of lint and thread. We spend our days watching the knitting machines go round and round. It gets quite loud, so we have to shout sometimes to hear each other over the hum. We’re mostly focused on cotton knits, the kind of stuff you wear when it’s hot outside. The air in the factory is always a bit heavy with the smell of yarn. We don’t have a fancy reception area or a coffee machine. We just have a small desk where we keep the ledgers and a couple of plastic chairs for visitors. Most of the time, we’re in the back checking the tension on the needles or making sure the bundles are packed tight for the trucks. The sun hits the front of the building in the afternoon, making it really warm, so we keep the big shutters open for whatever breeze we can get. It’s honest, tiring work, but it’s what we know. We aren't trying to be some giant corporation, just a local unit making sure the garments get out on time for the people who need them to wear.
