Thirnethra Moulds Chennai

Our workshop is tucked away in Ganapathy Colony over in Ekkattuthangal. It’s on the Second Cross Street, number 4/359. This isn't a place where you'd want to wear a nice suit, because there is oil and metal shavings everywhere. We make moulds here, which is heavy, dirty work. The machines are old but they still do what they are supposed to do if you treat them right. It gets really hot in the summer, and the fans just move the warm air around, but we are used to it by now. We spend our days looking at blueprints and then trying to get the metal to match what’s on the paper. Sometimes a piece doesn't come out right and we have to start over, which is frustrating but part of the job. There are usually about four or five of us in here at any given time. We don't have a receptionist, so if someone comes to the door, one of us has to wipe our hands and go see what they need. It’s a practical, no-nonsense kind of place. We focus on the task at hand and try to get the orders out by the time we promised. The neighborhood is full of small industrial shops like ours, so there’s always a lot of activity on the street outside. It's just regular work for us, day in and day out, making things that other people use for their own manufacturing.
