S. S. Strips Pvt. Ltd.

S. S. Strips is based over at 89/90 in the G.V.M.S.A.V. Ltd. estate. It’s an industrial cooperative society, so we have a lot of neighbors doing similar kinds of work. Our focus is mainly on metal strips, which sounds simple but involves a lot of heavy lifting and careful cutting. The workshop is usually a bit dark and smells like cold steel. We’ve got a couple of machines that have been with us for a long time. They’re old, but they still work just fine if you know how to handle them. The guys here have thick calluses on their hands from moving the metal around all day. We don't have a front desk or a receptionist. If you come by, you’ll probably find one of us covered in dust or looking at a measurement. We don't really do much in the way of fancy talk. We just listen to what’s needed and see if we can get it done. The estate can get quite busy with lorries blocking the narrow lanes, so getting things in and out takes some patience. We aren’t a huge operation, just a private limited company that’s trying to stay productive. It’s a repetitive job, day in and day out, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that we’ve all grown to like. We just keep our heads down and focus on the task at hand until the shift is over. It’s a bit exhausting by the end, but we don't mind too much.
