Duro Lab Glass Manufacturing Co.

Down at No. 6319 in Chikk Mohalla, right off Nicholsan Road, is where we do all our work. Duro Lab Glass Manufacturing Co. has been in this neighborhood for ages. It’s a tight street, and sometimes getting a delivery truck in here is a real challenge for the drivers. We make a lot of different glass things for labs, which means there is always a furnace running or someone blowing glass. It gets pretty hot in the summer, but we’re used to it by now. The floor is usually covered in a bit of sand or scrap glass that we haven't swept up yet. We don't have a fancy office; it’s mostly just the workshop and a small desk where we keep the ledger. People around Nicholsan Road know the sound of our machines. We don't do much in the way of fancy marketing. Most of our work comes from people who have known us for years and know we can make what they need. We just take it one order at a time. Sometimes we run out of a certain type of glass and have to wait for the supplier, but usually, we stay on top of things. It’s a family-style environment here, even if we aren't all related. We drink tea, talk about the news, and keep the glass moving. It’s a decent way to make a living and we enjoy the hands-on nature of the work.
