Our history
The foundation for Vijayeswari Textiles was laid by K.Rajagopal, son of G.Kuppuswamy Naidu, founder of Lakshmi Mills in Coimbatore. K.Rajagopal popularly known as KR, was a visionary entrepreneur who with textile background set about creating a mill that made the finest yarns in the world.
The first mill was established in the tiny village of Pappanaickenpalayam near Coimbatore and customers were mainly local and competition limited. From a small generic yarn manufacturer at inception VTX grew into a fine count spinner able to sell and compete in all prime markets in the world. With the pioneering spirit exhibited by KR and inhibited in every member of the family, VTX expanded into specialized Weaving, Finishing and Sewing. It has now the ability to transfer select fibre into a finished package ready to go on to the shop floor demanding markets anywhere in the world using its own resources.
Today KR’s guiding hand and stewardship has led his daughter Jayanthi and son-in-law Ramachandra to continue the tradition established over 90 years of business.
