Oilman Filter Technologies

We set up shop at Shed No. 7 in Shriji Industrial Park. It's on the Kujad-Bakrol Road, easy enough to find if you know where Swagat Industrial Park is across the way. We make filters here. All sorts, mostly for industrial oil and engines. It's a messy business, but someone has to do it or the machines won't run. The machines in our shed run pretty much all day long. We started out with just a couple of workers and some basic tools. Now we have a few more people on the floor, but it still feels like a small family thing. We focus on getting the mesh right and making sure the housings don't leak under pressure. If a filter fails, the whole machine breaks down, so we try to be careful with the assembly. The road outside gets pretty muddy during the monsoon season. We’ve been in this shed for a few years now. It's got high ceilings which helps with the heat during the summer months. We don't do much advertising at all. People in the area just know us as the oil filter guys. We keep some common stock on the shelves, but a lot of it is made when the orders actually come in. It’s a lot of manual work, checking gaskets and cleaning up oil spills. We don’t have a fancy showroom for guests. You just walk in past the wooden crates. We try to keep things simple and just do the work we’re paid for.
