Although there was a lot of speculation and skepticism about the venture, Parrys took on the project with their usual indomitable will and enthusiasm determined to achieve at least a modicum of success. Currently, the Pudukottai factory is one of the largest revenue generators of the organization clearly accentuating the determination and hard work invested in it by the employees and management of Parrys.
