Founder Message

Southern Alloy Foundries was founded by Mr. S. Thiagharajan in 1959. His vision helped introduce and advance ductile iron casting technology in India at a time when the country's foundry sector was still developing. The company's early collaboration with International Mond Nickel Company and adoption of electric induction melting reflected his willingness to invest in modern technical methods.

The legacy he established continues to guide SAF: understand metallurgy, respect the process, invest for the future and earn customer trust through performance. These principles remain central as the company enters a new era of capacity, automation and global service.
