COMPANY OVERVIEW
Southern Alloy Foundries Private Limited was established in 1959 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The company was founded by Mr. S. Thiagharajan, recognised in the source material for his pioneering contribution to ductile iron manufacturing in India. SAF's inauguration was attended by prominent leaders of Tamil Nadu, reflecting the significance of the enterprise to the state's industrial development.
From its early production of grey iron castings using cupola melting, SAF steadily advanced into ductile iron technology, induction melting, resin-sand moulding, process simulation and modern quality assurance. A technical collaboration with International Mond Nickel Company, United Kingdom, in 1963 supported SAF's early development of ductile iron castings. The company was also among the early Indian foundries to adopt an electric induction melting furnace sourced from Sweden.
