Southern Founders

You can find us over on 80Ft Road in Rajajinagar, specifically in the 4th M Block. This part of Bangalore is always moving, and we’re right in the thick of it. Being a foundry means things get hot. We deal with molten metal and sand molds all day long. The smell of the foundry is something you never really get out of your clothes, but you get used to it after a week or two. We aren't a massive factory with thousands of workers; it’s more of a tight-knit group where everyone knows their job. The floor is always covered in sand and bits of scrap metal waiting to be melted down again. We don't have a polished showroom or anything like that. If you come by, you’ll probably find us in our work gear, probably sweating because the furnaces are running. People bring us drawings or old parts they need a casting of, and we figure out the best way to pour it without getting any air bubbles. It’s a lot of manual labor and heavy lifting. Rajajinagar has changed a lot over the years, with more shops and houses popping up, but we’re still here doing the same gritty work. It’s honest labor, and while the 80Ft Road can be a nightmare for traffic, it makes it easy for the trucks to pick up the finished castings when we’re done. We just keep our heads down, watch the heat, and melt metal for the next job.
