In addition to our main team in Madurai, JVS has a dedicated staff in each major market to ensure face-to-face customer service and support for our clients. Our experience has shown that collaboration with our retail partners at every step of the product development process provides huge benefits, resulting in better products that best meet the needs of retail customers.

Regardless of whether or not we receive specific product development direction from our customers, or sample our own designs; it is critical to be close to the customer - the collaboration is invaluable.

We are immensely proud of our excellent reputation, which we attribute to our considerable export experience that has earned us many distinctions and a clutch of highly satisfied clients. Supplying to over 25 countries, our products have reached far and wide across the globe. Our recent expansion efforts have yielded greater capacity to service our customers in the future.

Social & Environmental Responsibility
Social Responsibility:
We believe our employees are the most important asset of our company. We provide employees at our factories in India with purified drinking water from our own reverse osmosis plant located on site. We maintain a clinic at our factories with a nurse on staff, and a physician visits the campus once per week to provide routine check-ups to employees who may not otherwise have access to routine care.
As part of this process, our employees and their families receive free immunizations.
Environmental Responsibility:
JVS is a leader in southern India with regard to promoting care for the environment: Here are a few examples of our on-going initiatives:
- The company owns and operates several windmills which provide energy to the local electric cooperative. The net result is our factories run entirely on sustainable wind energy.
- Rain water harvesting is another key strategy we have adopted to alleviate strain on local ground water resources, a critical consideration for southern India. Our units are estimated to save 100,000 gallons of water per year.
- JVS uses recycled material in all of our packaging: shipping cartons, poly-bags, bellybands, hang tags, etc.
JVS has achieved SA 8000 Certification.
Manufacturing: Capacity to Produce
JVS is nearly 100% "vertical" in terms of manufacturing. From spinning to final finished products our capabilities and capacities are listed as follows:
JVS Spinners Ltd, is a wholly owned subsidiary of JVS Export. JVS Spinners has a 10 ton per day capacity and produces a broad range of cotton yarns from its 9,936 "state of the art" spindles. JVS Spinners also produces many value added products such as organic cotton (fully-certified), knitted fabrics, linen fabrics, modal yarn, and bamboo yarn.
JVS Export has weaving units at both our original facility in Karur, and now at our new factory located at the Madurai Integrated Textile Park in Madurai.
Looking Forward
JVS had made an aggressive move to capture more table linen business in 2010. Over the past 2 years our table business has doubled.
Finally, we have a partnership in place with a local industrialist to set up 48 shuttle-less terry looms in the Madurai textile park.
