Ams Bricks Industry

Down in Mayurbhanj, specifically in the Baripada Tehsil, you will find Ams Bricks Industry right by the main market area. It is a lively place to be because there is always something happening just a few steps away from our gates. The noise of the market vendors blends in with the sound of our bricks being clanked together as they are loaded up. We have a good amount of space here, which is needed because bricks take up a lot of room once they are out of the kiln and cooling down. The soil in this part of Odisha has a certain color to it that gives the bricks their specific look. We have a group of workers who have been with us through many seasons, through the heavy monsoons that shut down production and the dry months when we can’t keep up with the demand. It’s hard work, involving a lot of bending and lifting, but it’s what we do. The trucks come in from all over the district to fetch loads, and navigating the market traffic can be a bit of a headache sometimes for the drivers. Still, being central makes it easy for people to find us when they need supplies. We keep a simple routine, starting early to beat the worst of the afternoon heat. There is always a pot of tea going somewhere nearby, and we take our breaks in the shade of the brick stacks when we can find a moment.
