Shyam Plastic Machinery

Our workshop is over at C1/4512 in Phase 4 of the Vatva GIDC. It’s mostly full of big steel frames and various plastic molding parts waiting to be put together. We spend a lot of our time putting things together and then taking them apart again just to make sure every bolt fits exactly right. Shyam Plastic Machinery is basically just a few of us who really know how these extruders and blowers are supposed to work. It’s a messy business, with grease and oil getting on everything we touch. I usually have an oily rag in my back pocket at all times. The office is just a small corner walled off with some thin plywood so we can have a desk for the ledger and a place to keep the phone dry. It gets very dusty because of the industrial area, so we are always wiping down the computer monitors before we can see anything. We don’t really do big meetings or have fancy presentations. Usually, we just stand around a half-finished machine and talk about what needs fixing next. Customers come by to check on their orders, and we show them the progress on the floor. Sometimes a specific part doesn't arrive on time from the supplier, and we have to wait around, which is always frustrating. But mostly we just keep busy with the hand tools and the welding gear. The afternoon sun hits the metal roof and makes the whole place feel like an oven. We just keep the big front doors open and hope for a breeze.
