Uttam Containers Works

We are based in Bawana Industrial Area, Sector-3, at plot G-23. Being out here in Delhi, the weather really dictates how the day goes. When it’s hot, the metal in the workshop gets untouchable by noon, so we start our shifts pretty early. We make containers and do various types of metal work. It’s loud, dirty, and physically demanding, but it’s the work we’ve been doing for years. The floor is usually covered in scrap pieces and the smell of welding is always in the air. We don't have a polished office; it’s more of a corner with a table and a fan that squeaks. Most of our tools have been with us since we started, and they still work better than the new stuff. We aren't interested in being the biggest company in Delhi. We just want to make sure the containers we send out are sturdy and built right. The traffic in Bawana can be a nightmare in the evenings, so we try to get our deliveries out before the rush starts. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside and wait for it to come back. It's not a perfect setup, but it’s ours. We don’t use fancy words to describe what we do. We just bend metal and fix things until they are finished.
