Shri Vishwakarma Rubber Industries

Shri Vishwakarma Rubber Industries is located at Plot No. 1901/a, Phase-3, Gidc, right opposite the Kalupur Commercial Co. Op. Bank Ltd. Having the bank right across the street is actually pretty convenient for when we need to handle the business side of things. The rubber work we do is quite messy. There is a specific smell to raw rubber that stays in your clothes long after you go home. Our facility in Phase-3 isn't the newest one on the block, but it serves us just fine. We have several old-fashioned molds and some newer machines that we use every day. The workers here are mostly locals who have been in the rubber trade for years. We usually have the radio playing in the background to help the day go by faster. The Gidc area is always full of activity, with people moving materials and shouting to be heard over the noise of the factories. We keep our doors open most of the time to let the air circulate. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we know how to do. Sometimes we run out of storage space and have to stack things in the corners. We don't bother with a receptionist or anything. If you walk in, someone will eventually look up from what they’re doing to see what you need. It’s just a normal factory life for us.
