Patel Salt & Marine Chemicals Private Limited.

We've been set up near the Kumbharwada railway crossing for quite some time now. Being Patel Salt & Marine Chemicals Private Limited, our days are mostly spent around salt and different industrial chemicals. It’s not the cleanest job in the world, and you often go home with a bit of grit on your shoes. The office is right there in Kumbharwada, and you can hear the trains passing by all day long. Sometimes the whole building shakes a bit when a heavy goods train goes over the crossing, but we don't even notice it anymore. We aren't some big corporate firm with a glass building and a fancy lobby. We’re just a group of people who know how to handle these materials. The yard stays pretty busy with trucks coming in to load up. We spend a lot of time checking the bags and making sure the numbers are right on the sheets. It gets really hot out here during the summer, and the salt makes you thirsty, so we drink a lot of water and tea. We’ve got a small team, and most of us have lived in this area for years. We don't have a mission statement or any of that. We just come in, do the work, and try to get the orders out on time. If you’re coming to see us, just watch out for the railway gates because they stay closed a lot of the time. We are usually here from early morning until the sun goes down.
