Shree Shantinath Gum Industries

The GIDC Industrial Area is always a noisy place to be, and our spot at 53/1 is right in the middle of it. Shree Shantinath Gum Industries is where we spend most of our waking hours. It’s a bit dusty and the machines make a lot of noise, but that’s what you expect in an industrial zone. We’ve got a small crew here. Everyone knows their job and we don’t need a lot of meetings to figure out what to do next. We deal with the materials every day, and our hands usually end up sticky by lunchtime. There’s no air conditioning in the main area, so we keep the big doors open to catch whatever breeze comes through. It’s hard work, especially when the weather gets hot, but we’re used to it. We aren't trying to be some giant corporation. We’re just a local business making our way. Sometimes the supply trucks are late or a machine needs a quick fix, and we just deal with it as it happens. We’ve been at this for a while now. People in the area know us, and we know them. It’s a community of workers more than anything else. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. We just make the gum and get it sent out to whoever needs it. It's a living, and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday without fail.
