D & D Rubber Industries

We've been here at Plot C-175 in the Waluj MIDC area for quite a while now. Most days it's just the sound of the machines and the smell of raw rubber. It gets pretty hot in this part of Aurangabad, especially during the summer months when the shed traps all that heat. We started D & D Rubber Industries without much fancy equipment, just a couple of presses and a lot of work. People around here know where we are because we’re tucked away in one of the quieter corners of the industrial estate. It's not a big flashy office or anything like that. Just a workshop where we get things done. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour or two, so we sit outside and wait for it to come back. We deal with all sorts of rubber parts, mostly small things that people don't think about until they break. My brother and I manage most of the daily stuff. We don't have a big marketing team or anything. If someone needs a part made, they usually just drop by or give us a call on the landline. It’s dusty work, and our hands are usually black by the end of the day, but it’s what we know how to do. The neighbors at the other plots are mostly friendly. We share tea sometimes in the afternoons when things slow down. That’s pretty much how it goes every day at our place. We just focus on the task at hand.
