R. Gesan
Managing Director · CR Garments

Three decades in Tirupur's knitwear industry — from factory floor to export desk. Gesan oversees product development, buyer specification management and shipment sign-off directly.

His approach is simple: no intermediaries, no surprises. Buyers speak to the MD. Samples are approved by the MD. Every container is signed off by the MD.

"The repeat order is the only review that matters."

CR Garments was built on the belief that consistent quality is more valuable than a lower price. In the knitwear business, the cost of a colour deviation, a GSM shortfall or a late container far exceeds any saving on FOB.

Over 30 years, we have refined every step of the production process — from yarn sourcing to final packing — to eliminate the variables that cause repeat buyers to switch suppliers.

We do not manage volume by subcontracting. What you inspect in Tirupur is what ships. The factory, the machines, the team — all under one roof at No 330/1, Palladam Road.
