From the first thread to the final stitch. We bring your knitwear and woven collections to life, with 27 years of craft and every detail cared for under one roof.
Founded in 1999 in the Tiruppur cluster, where most of India's knitwear is made. We stayed here because the fabric, the dyeing, the trims and the labour are all within an hour of our gate.
A family of makers.
A partner for your next chapter.
Since 1999, Sri Ashwath Knits has brought knitwear and woven collections to life in Tiruppur. Our 250 people combine hands-on experience with the attention that turns an approved sample into a collection you can count on.
Cutting, stitching, checking, pressing, packing and dispatch happen at our own facility. With production, quality and communication in-house, the person answering your email can walk straight to the line and check.
Today, we work with brands across Canada, Germany, Poland, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands and India. Most of our volume comes from returning partners — relationships built one well-made garment at a time.
Start with 1,000 pieces per style. Develop a sample in one to two weeks. Build a collection with people who care as much about the details as you do.
The fabric you feel. The fit you trust. The details you notice. And all the ones you don’t.
SMALL BEGINNINGS. BEAUTIFUL POSSIBILITIES.
Loop by loop. Stitch by stitch. A little care becomes something you can feel.
We build lasting relationships through consistent quality, clear communication and care at every stage. These are the principles behind every collection we make.
Not the largest unit in Tiruppur, and not trying to be. The ambition is narrower than that: to be the one on a buyer's list whose dates hold, whose shade matches the lot, and whose follow-up email is short because there is nothing to explain.
Everything between those two points happens under one roof and under our own supervisors. That is the whole method. It is why a shade that drifts between rolls is caught in the same building it was cut in, and why the person answering your email can walk to the line and look.
From our beginnings in 1999 to collections across seven markets. A journey shaped by our people, our partners and the work we put in every day.
V. Manipalanisamy starts the unit at Kanakkampalayam, inside the cluster that makes most of India's knitwear, so fabric, dyeing, trims and labour all sit within an hour of the gate.
Single jersey and pique tees to begin with. Woven shirting, twill and drill come later, which is what makes a co-ord set or a nightwear programme possible from one floor instead of two suppliers.
Programmes for brands in Canada, Germany, Poland, Greece, Spain and the Netherlands, alongside Indian labels sold through the country's largest marketplaces. Most of the volume is repeat business.
250 people on the floor and 260,000 pieces and sets a month. Deliberately a size where the managing director still walks every block daily.
Audited by Bureau Veritas CPS Asia across labour standards, health and safety, environment and business ethics. Findings and corrective actions sit on Sedex, where a buyer can read them directly.
The plan is not more floor space. It is shorter sampling, tighter shade control and keeping the dates we quote — the things a returning buyer actually notices.
Step inside our 16,500 sq ft facility in Tiruppur. Four connected blocks bring our people, processes and production together in one carefully organised space.
Nothing here is hired in. Cutting, stitching, checking, pressing, packing and dispatch are all on this site and run by our own people. The only work that leaves the gate is wet processing, which goes to dyeing and washing houses inside the Tiruppur cluster, within an hour of us.
Seven stages. One connected team. Take a closer look at the people and processes that turn your approved fabric into a finished collection.
Everyday essentials, considered collections and little favourites. Explore our knitwear and woven capabilities across menswear, womenswear and kidswear.

Everything below is a document a buyer can verify independently. We do not claim certifications we do not hold.

Registered manufacturing enterprise under India's Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. Verifiable on the Government of India Udyam portal.
Member of the Better Cotton Initiative, the world's largest cotton sustainability programme. Membership covers sourcing cotton through the Better Cotton system and reporting the volumes we take in, and is verifiable in the Better Cotton member directory.
A note on wording. SMETA is an ethical trade audit, not a certification, and Better Cotton is a programme membership rather than a product certification; we describe both that way on purpose. If you want the full report and the corrective action plan, connect to us on Sedex or ask and we will share the link.
Fabric is shade-checked and recorded against the lot before it is cut, so a shade problem never reaches a sewing line.
Checking sits as its own section between stitching and finishing, with its own people and its own floor space.
Final inspection happens before packing. Cartons are marked to buyer specification and staged in finished-goods storage.
We supply international groups in Europe and North America and Indian labels sold through the country's largest marketplaces. Buyer names are held under confidentiality; we share references on request.
Tell us the garment, the fabric and how many. We will come back with a price, a sample lead time and a shipment date. Minimum order is 1,000 pieces per style.
