Sree Venkata Lakshmi Foundry

Our foundry is located at No. 432 Patel Road. It’s been here for a long time, and the building shows its age a bit. Foundries are messy places by nature, so don't expect a clean office when you walk in. There is sand, coal, and metal everywhere. We spend our days melting metal and pouring it into molds. It’s heavy work and it gets very hot near the furnaces. The crew here has been working together for years, so we don't need to say much to know what needs to be done next. Patel Road is a busy stretch, and we’ve become a bit of a landmark for the people who live nearby. We don't do any big advertising. Usually, the work just comes in from people who know we’ve been here at this address forever. Sometimes things don't go perfectly, a mold might break or the heat isn't just right, but that’s just the way it goes with casting metal. We just clean it up and start over. We don't have any corporate titles or fancy mission statements on the wall. We just show up in the morning, fire up the equipment, and see what needs to be cast for the day. It’s a gritty job, but it’s what we know how to do, and we keep doing it.
