Kothari Marble Industries

Working with stone is a messy business, especially here at Plot No. 28 in the GIDC area of Deesa. Kothari Marble Industries has been part of this landscape for a good stretch of time. There is always a fine layer of dust on everything, no matter how much we sweep. It’s just the way it goes when you’re dealing with marble and granite all day long. We spend most of our time unloading slabs and checking for cracks or bad spots in the stone. The sun hits the yard pretty hard in the summer, so we try to do the heavy moving in the mornings. We aren't some big corporate group with a glossy lobby. Our office is just a small room with a desk and some old chairs where we talk to people who stop by. Most of our customers are locals or builders who know where to find us. We don't do much advertising; word of mouth usually keeps us busy enough. The guys working the saws have a tough job, but they’re skilled at what they do. We eat lunch together in the shade when we can find it. Sometimes the trucks are late and it messes up the schedule, but we just manage it as it comes. It is honest work and it keeps us moving. We’ve seen the GIDC change over the years, but our spot stays pretty much the same. We just want to get the slabs out and keep things moving without too much trouble.
