Sgktex Weaves Private Limited

If you head out toward Palladam, you’ll find us at D.No. 1/3 in Devarayan Palayam. Sgktex Weaves Private Limited is a small operation, really, and we don’t have any big signs or bright lights out front. Most people find us just by knowing the area or asking the neighbors. The building is old but it holds the machines just fine. We spend our mornings getting the looms set up and making sure the yarn is loaded correctly. It’s a routine we’ve had for a long time. The floor is concrete and can get pretty cold in the winter mornings, though by noon, the heat from the machines warms everything up. We have a few workers who have been with us since we started, and they know the quirks of every machine we own. There’s a small yard out front where the trucks pull in to pick up the finished goods. Sometimes the goats from the nearby farm wander onto the property, and we have to shoo them away. It’s not a corporate environment at all; we usually just wear whatever is comfortable for moving around. We drink a lot of coffee from the shop down the road to keep our energy up during the long shifts. The work is repetitive, but there is a certain rhythm to it that we all like. We don't do much talking while the looms are running, but during the breaks, the place gets quite lively and loud with conversation from the crew.
