Abhinav Polymers

Abhinav Polymers is tucked away at Plot No. A/2, 3909 in Phase-4 of Gidc. If you know the area, you know it’s a bit of a maze to get back here. We work with plastics and polymers, so the air usually smells like melting materials. It’s a very specific scent that you get used to after about a week. The machines we use are pretty loud and they put out a lot of heat. Even in the winter, we don't need jackets inside the shop. We spend most of our time watching the output and making sure the molds are filling right. Sometimes a machine jams and we have to spend an hour taking it apart to clear the plastic. It’s frustrating but it’s part of the routine. We aren’t a huge corporation with a thousand employees. We are just a group of people who know how to run these presses. The floor is covered in little plastic pellets that seem to get everywhere, even in our shoes. We sweep up at the end of every shift but by morning, they are back again. The neighborhood is mostly other small factories doing similar things. We share a tea stall at the corner with the guys from the metal shop. It’s a simple life. We make the parts, pack them into boxes, and send them out. That’s what we do here at our little plot in Phase-4. No more and no less.
