Bhagwati Brass Industries

We are Bhagwati Brass Industries, and we are based out in Balkari. It’s a bit of a trek to get here if you’re not from the area, but we’ve been here for years. Working with brass happens all day long. It’s heavy work and the shop gets pretty hot when the furnaces are going. There is always the sound of metal hitting metal or machines running. We aren't a big factory, just a local industry in Balkari. Our group of workers knows exactly what they’re doing with the molds and the casting. The floor is usually covered in dust and metal shavings. There is no fancy office here; we just have a small corner where we keep the books and take phone calls. Most of our day is spent out on the floor making sure the brass parts are coming out right. It’s a lot of manual labor and we get our hands dirty every day. That’s just how it is in this line of work. We sell to people who need brass fittings and parts. There isn't much advertising. People just know we are here in Balkari. It’s a simple business. We make things, we sell them, and we come back the next day to do it again. It’s been our life for a long time and we're used to it. The work is hard but it is steady and it keeps us occupied here.
