Uma Pharmatech Machinery

Our workshop is over in the GIDC Vatva area, specifically in the Narayan Chamber within the Jogeshwari Estate. If you’re driving down Sureliya Road or near the Ctm area, you’ll know it’s a very industrial part of town. We deal with pharmaceutical machinery, which basically means a lot of heavy metal, welding, and grease. It’s a noisy place most days because we are usually putting something together or testing a motor. The floors are rarely clean for long, no matter how much we sweep, because that’s just the nature of a machine shop. We have a small crew of guys who really know their way around a lathe and a welding torch. We don't have a fancy showroom; if you want to see what we do, you just come to the back where the work is happening. It gets really dusty on Sureliya Road with all the trucks passing by, so we usually keep the front shutters halfway down. It’s honest work, building things that other companies use to make their products. Sometimes a part doesn't fit right and we have to stay late to fix it, but that’s just how it goes with mechanics. We’ve been in this spot for a good while and the neighbors are all other small factories doing similar things. We share tools and sometimes grab lunch together at the local dhaba. It’s a busy, gritty life but we like it.
