Pelican Ceramic Industries Pvt. Ltd.

Our factory occupies several plots in the Riico Industrial Area, specifically from A 100 to 103 and 118 to 121. Having so much space is necessary because the kilns we use are quite large. We spend our days making ceramic tiles and other pieces for homes. It is a hot and noisy environment, especially during the summer months when the kilns are at full blast. Most of our workers are from the surrounding villages and have been with us for years. We started out with just one small plot and slowly added more as we grew. We don't have a big corporate headquarters in a city. Our office is right here next to the production line. You can hear the machines running while we talk on the phone. Sometimes things go wrong, like a batch of tiles coming out with the wrong color or a machine jamming up. We just deal with those problems as they come. It’s a very hands-on way of working. We aren't interested in making things look more impressive than they are. It’s just a factory where we make ceramic goods for people to use in their daily lives. We keep our focus on the production floor because that’s where the real work happens. It’s a busy life, but it keeps us moving and the community employed. We have been part of the Riico landscape for a long time now.
