Riddhi Ice Factory

Riddhi Ice Factory is situated at Plot No. 25+26/22 in Phase-1 of GIDC, Vatva. We are basically right in the thick of things here. Our day starts early because that is when the demand for ice is usually the highest, especially when the weather starts to turn really hot. The factory floor is a mix of heavy iron lids, freezing tanks, and a lot of mist from the cold air meeting the heat. It is a physical job, pulling those heavy blocks out and sliding them across the floor. We don’t really have much in the way of a front office, just a place to park the trucks and the main shed where the freezing happens. The water we use has to be monitored, and the machinery needs a lot of grease and attention to keep it from breaking down at the wrong time. During the monsoon, things slow down a bit, but we still have plenty to do keeping the place maintained. Our neighbors are mostly other industrial units, so the sound of hammers or engines is always in the background. We are just a local business that makes ice, and we have been doing it from this same spot for quite a while. Most of the people who work here live nearby, so we are all pretty used to the routine and the local traffic.
