Mecab Cables P. Ltd.

Our factory, Mecab Cables P. Ltd., is over at 635-A in Phase-4 of the GIDC Vatva area. This is a big industrial zone, so we are surrounded by other plants and the constant sound of heavy machinery. We spend our days dealing with long strands of copper and large quantities of plastic granules for the insulation. The machines that pull the wire are quite long and they make a steady humming sound that fills the whole building. We have these massive wooden drums everywhere, some empty and some coiled tight with finished cable. The floor is concrete and has some cracks here and there from moving the heavy reels around. We have a small cabin for the supervisor that has a window looking out over the production line. It’s dusty work, and the smell of hot plastic is something you never really forget once you've been here a few hours. We don't have a showroom or a reception area; if you come to visit, you’ll probably find us on the shop floor or in the warehouse checking the labels on the coils. We keep a kettle in the corner for making tea during the breaks. It’s an honest day's work in a part of Ahmedabad that never really sleeps. We focus on the machines and making sure the wire doesn't tangle up during the process, which happens more often than we would like.
