OUR STORY

MV Varghese, a visionary and founder of Velickakathu Traders, embarked on a remarkable journey in 1972 that would revolutionize the perception of plumbing in his community. A dedicated UP school teacher, Varghese ventured into the business world with a groundbreaking idea that would change the landscape of domestic infrastructure.

During the early 1970s, plumbing was a novel concept, often considered a mark of luxury. Varghese, however, identified the potential to bring this essential aspect of modern living to the forefront. With a profound understanding of societal needs, he envisioned a business that not only provided plumbing services but also redefined how people perceived and valued this critical aspect of home infrastructure. In its initial stages, Velickakathu Traders, led by MV Varghese, started as a humble endeavor. As the business gained recognition for its quality services, Varghese's two sons joined, contributing their skills to elevate the family enterprise. Together, they expanded Velickakathu Traders, transforming it into a reliable source for both wiring and plumbing solutions. During an era when wiring and plumbing were not widely understood by the public, Velickakathu Traders played a pivotal role in demystifying these concepts, making them accessible to a broader audience. The business not only met the increasing demand for these essential services but also played a significant role in transforming them from symbols of luxury to integral components of contemporary living. MV Varghese's commitment to excellence and foresight in recognizing evolving societal needs laid the foundation for Velickakathu Traders' success. The business not only became a trusted name in the field but also contributed to the overall development and modernization of the community it served. As Velickakathu Traders evolved, it expanded its product list, incorporating CP items, electric motors, tanks, and other components. This strategic expansion marked a significant milestone, turning the business into a one-stop solution for a wide array of plumbing and sanitary items. The adaptability and commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry showcased Velickakathu Traders' resilience. Moreover, the business expanded its reach to Kottayam, establishing itself as "Kottayam Pipe House." This expansion included partnerships as distribution channels for renowned brands such as Supreme Pipes, Lubi Pumps, and Astral Pipes. Through these collaborations, Velickakathu Traders extended its influence, becoming a key distributor in the region and contributing to the accessibility of quality products. Today, Velickakathu Traders stands as a testament to the vision and dedication of its founder, MV Varghese. What started as a modest venture addressing the unfamiliarity of plumbing has now emerged as a dynamic, customer-centric enterprise offering a diverse range of products and services.
