Natraj Iron & Casting,Dhanbad

Even though the name says Dhanbad, our main spot is actually in West Bengal, specifically in Kulti. We are located at C/O Sri. D.P.Sinha in the I.G. New Colony. It’s a bit of a trek to get here if you aren’t from the Burdwan district, but we’ve been part of this community for a long time. Iron and casting is heavy work. It’s loud and dirty and takes a lot of physical effort. Our place reflects that. We don’t have air-conditioned showrooms. We have a workspace that’s built for ironwork. There’s the smell of metal and the sound of tools pretty much all day long. We handle a lot of different casting jobs, and sometimes the orders are quite large, so the yard gets packed with finished pieces waiting to be moved. It’s not the kind of place you come to see something pretty. It’s where things get made. We’ve got a small crew of people who know their way around a furnace and a mold. We stick to what we know, which is working with iron. The paperwork is handled in a small office on the side, where things are a bit quieter but still pretty basic. We’ve been at this for years, and it’s just the way we make our living. It is simple, hard work that keeps us going every day in the shop.
