Business in Tiruppur
Cotton knitwear, T-shirts and innerwear from Tiruppur fill the shelves of global retailers and Indian brands alike, making it India's largest knitwear export cluster. Production is split among thousands of units specialising in knitting, dyeing, compacting, printing, embroidery and stitching, many working on job-work for exporters and domestic sellers.
Also known as Tirupur.
Where software helps: Knitwear exporters here move each order through outside knitters, dyers, printers and stitching units, so they need style-wise fabric and trim tracking, process-loss control and shipment dates matched to buyer timelines.
