Shree Umiya Intermediates

Our place is at Plot No. 5108, right near Khwaja Chowkdi in the Gidc area. It is an industrial zone, so it is always loud with trucks and machines running. We work with intermediates, which basically means we are part of a bigger chain in making things. The air always has that faint chemical smell, but we do not notice it much anymore. We have been at this spot for years. The building is not much to look at, just a sturdy structure that holds our equipment. We start the machines early and shut them down late. There are about ten of us here most days. We eat lunch together in the small break room. It is hard work, and the heat from the processes can be a lot during the summer months. Gidc is a busy place, and we are just one of many units trying to stay productive. We do not have a marketing department or anything. We just take the orders that come in and make sure the batches are right. Sometimes the supply of raw materials gets delayed, and we have to adjust our schedule. That is just how it goes in this line of work. We know the other guys at the neighboring plots. We help each other out if someone needs a tool or a hand. It is a tough environment, but it is what we know. We just focus on the drums and the pipes every day.
