Somnath Industries

Somnath Industries is located at B-21 in Foundry Nagar, which is just off Hathras Road. If you know the area, you know it is the heart of the foundry business. The roads are always full of sand and dark dust from the casting process. Our building is an old one, and it has that typical smell of hot metal and coal that stays with you. We have a few big machines that have been running for years. It isn't a quiet place by any means. There is always someone shouting or a machine clanking in the background. We don't have fancy lights or a polished floor. Everything is a bit grey from the dust, but that's just how a foundry is. We have a small area near the entrance where we keep the ledgers and a telephone. Most of the day is spent on the floor, watching the molds and making sure the metal is pouring right. It’s physically demanding work and we all go home with black smudge on our faces. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. People in the trade know we are here at B-21. We've been at this address for a long time and we know all the other shop owners on Hathras Road. It’s a hard way to earn a living but we are used to it. We just show up and do the same thing every morning.
