Ratha Plastics

We are based at 477/3C in the Balaji Industrial Estate on Kondayampalayam Road. Being in an industrial estate means it is never really quiet here. There is the constant hum of machinery and the sound of trucks loading up outside. Our floor is usually covered in some kind of plastic scraps or dust, no matter how much we sweep it. It is a hot environment, especially when the machines have been running for hours on end, but that is just the nature of the work. We make all sorts of plastic items, and there are stacks of finished products waiting to be shipped out. The office part of the building is just a small room with a couple of chairs and a desk where we handle the orders. We do not have much time for sitting around, though. Most of the day is spent checking the molds or making sure the material is feeding through correctly. Kondayampalayam Road is always busy with other businesses, so there is a real sense of everyone just getting their work done. We have been part of this estate for a while and we know the other shop owners nearby. It is not a glamorous job, but it is what we do. We show up early, get the machines started, and keep going until the shift is over. It is about as straightforward as it gets.
