S.V.SIVALINGA NADAR & SONS
SVS Oil is a pioneer in the cooking oil industry. 70 years ago a legacy was created, by being the first south Indian company to manufacture refined oils. The name βSVSβ has become synonymous in every household and caterer.
The company was started by the edible oil industry stalwart Shri. S.V.Sivalinga Nadar together with his sons, in the year 1986. The family already had two decades of experience in the edible oil industry, and Shri.S.V.Sivalinga Nadar is the ex-director of Madras Vanaspati Public Ltd and was partner in SVS Oil Mills, Tolgate.
The factory was started in Villupuram in the oil seed rich belt of north arcot. S.V.Sivalinga Nadar had a zeal to provide quality oil to his customers and therefore fresh oil seeds were procured from farmers and crushed in house to extract oil. The extracted oil was then refined in a batch type refining plant, packed in consumer packs, and was sold in Chennai, Tindivanam, Villupuram, Cuddalore, Myladuthurai and Thanjavur.
Today, the refining plant is modern, efficient and has end to end machinery for vegetable oil manufacture. To address the growing needs of cold pressed oil in the market, the company has also installed cold press expellers, and wooden cold press extraction machines.
