Lakshmi Rubber Industries

Lakshmi Rubber Industries is tucked away at 42 Kamakshi Palya. We are right on Laxime Road, which can be a bit cramped when the trucks are trying to unload. We've been making rubber products here for quite some time. The smell of raw rubber is just part of the air now, you don't even notice it after ten minutes. Our office isn't anything special to look at, just a few desks and some old filing cabinets that squeak when you open them. We spend most of the day dealing with molds and heat presses. It gets quite warm in the back during the summer months. People come by asking for all sorts of gaskets or custom bits, and we try to figure out how to make it work. Sometimes the machines act up and we have to spend the whole afternoon fixing a belt or a motor. It’s just how it goes in a place like this. The neighborhood has changed a lot since we started, but we’re still here in the same spot. Most of the staff live nearby, so we all know each other well. We keep the ledger books on the shelf and try to stay on top of the orders. It’s a practical business. Nothing flashy, just rubber parts being made and moved out. We usually have the radio on in the background while we work. The front door sticks sometimes in the rain, but we just give it a good kick.
