Celebration held on April 5 was
formally inaugurated by Mr. S.
Shanmugasundaram, Vice Presi-
dent - Production, by lighting the
traditional lamp.
Mr. Dinakaran, who was the
chief guest on the function, praised
the efforts of Habasit Iakoka and re-
called his long association with the
company, particularly the inaugural
function organised for the joint
venture in 1996. He complimented
the Managing Director for his
writing skills in Tamil, particularly
on travelogue and poems, and also
quoted some of the paragraphs from
the four books authored by him.
Mr. Andrea Volpi too addressed
the gathering and touched on the
contributions made by several lead-
ers, especially his father, Mr. Gio-
vanni Volpi, in forming the joint
venture and also the co-operation
extended by Mrs. Alice and Mr.
Thomas Habegger.
On the occasion, he expressed his
hope and confidence that Habasit
Iakoka would continue its success-
ful journey to celebrate Golden,
Platinum and Diamond Jubilee in
the years to come.
Mr. A.S. Subbian, Managing
Director, Sri Karunambikai Mills
Private Ltd., in his address, recalled
the day when he handed over a
cheque for Rs. 16,000 for the first
order placed on Iakoka Syntrans in
1987. Till now the first invoice in
every financial year is raised in the
name of Sri Karunambikai Mills.
Mr. N.M. Ethiraj, DGM - Stores,
Sri Ramakrishna Mills, and Mr.
S. Arunachalam, Director, Mec
Growths Texmach Pvt. Ltd.,
extended their felicitations and
confirmed their strong relationship
with the company.
Proposing a vote of thanks, Mr.
Subramaniam turned a little emo-
tional when he referred to the rich
contributions made by his fellow
Directors, the company manage-
ment team, distributors, suppliers,
staff members
and work-
ers for the
company suc-
cess over the
years. But for
their com-
bined effort,
the company
won’t have
achieved the
current accel-
erated growth
rate despite
several odds.
