Coimbatore the busy industrial city in South India, Tamilnadu is also called the Manchester of the East, has valid reasons to be called so. It is well known for its textile and engineering goods manufacture since the pre independence era. The ideal climate here was found to be favourable for textile yarn spinning and weaving. This prompted many industrious people from local and other states to set up small and large spinning units in this city. The steady demand for replacement spares and parts has indeed induced the growth of many ancillary units for production of textile machinery spares. And the parallel growth in the retail sector to meet the needs of other industries like foundry, motors, pumps, auto spares apart from the textile industry in Coimbatore.
