Maruti Ice Factory

We’ve been here at Plot No. C1/2/277 in Phase 1 of the GIDC for quite a while now. If you go behind Calama Pumps, you’ll find us easily. Most days start early because making ice takes its own time and we have to keep the machines running right. Maruti Ice Factory is just a straightforward place. We don’t have fancy offices or anything like that. It’s mostly just the sound of the compressors and the guys moving heavy blocks around. Sometimes the heat in the GIDC gets to be a lot, so being around cold stuff all day isn't the worst way to spend a shift. People come and go, trucks pull up, and we just try to keep up with the daily orders. It gets busy during the summer months especially. There’s always something that needs fixing or a pipe that needs checking. We aren't trying to be the biggest place around, just consistent. Our spot in Phase 1 is a bit dusty like the rest of the area, but we keep our heads down and do the work. It’s a simple living. Sometimes the power fluctuates which is a headache, but that’s just how it is working in an industrial zone like this. We know the neighbors and they know us. Most of the staff has been here for years, so we all know the routine by heart now. Nothing much changes day to day, just making sure the ice is ready when it needs to be.
