Uma Dye Chem Industries

Down in Phase-2 of the GIDC, you will find our building at Plot No. 488. We are Uma Dye Chem Industries, and as the name suggests, we deal with a lot of chemicals and dyes. It’s a messy business sometimes. There is always a certain smell in the air around here, something sharp and industrial that stays on your clothes long after you leave for the day. Phase-2 is quite packed these days. When we first got here, things were a bit quieter, but now there are vehicles everywhere and people moving pallets constantly. Our workspace is filled with drums and mixing equipment. We spend a lot of time checking batches and making sure the colors or the chemical properties are what they should be. It takes a lot of patience to work with dyes because one small mistake can ruin a whole lot of product. We don’t have a big marketing team or anyone to write fancy brochures. It’s just us doing the work we know how to do. The walls of the unit have splashes of different colors from over the years, which tells our story better than any words could. Most of our days are spent monitoring the vats or loading up the delivery vans for customers. It is heavy work and the heat in the summer can be a bit much inside the factory, but we’ve gotten used to it. That’s just the way things go in the chemical sector.
