The corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities of Needle Industries (India)

Southern India.

The Company was incorporated in 1949 as a subsidiary of a major British manufacturer of

hand sewing needles, knitting pins and other hard haberdashery products. Manufacture

commenced with the very simple gramophone needle.

Over the years, the tiny company managed not only to survive, but to grow through its own

resources into what it is today — the prime global source of hand sewing needles, knitting

pins and allied products.

The packaging has been painstakingly developed in keeping with the company's

commitment to the preservation of the environment. The simplicity of design allows easy

access to the product. The absence of adhesives, staples or other residual materials ensures

the packing materials are always separate thus encouraging their recyclable disposal. The

striking sunrise, depicted on our packaging, underlines the Company's dedication to offer

only the best through ongoing development and continuous improvement.

More than 3000 types of Needles are been manufacture at Pony Needles
