Panchmahal Stone Milling Industries

Panchmahal Stone Milling Industries occupies Plot No. 13 and 14. Having two plots gives us a bit more room to move around, but it also means there is twice the cleaning to do. Milling stone is a messy business and there is really no way around the dust. It gets on everything, including our clothes and the trucks parked outside. We don't bother wearing anything nice to work because it would just get ruined in an hour anyway. Most of our day is spent watching the grinders and making sure the bags are filled correctly for the customers. The noise is constant, a low rumbled that you stop hearing after a few months of working here. We have a small crew and most of us have been here since the start. We don't really have a boss who sits in a glass office; everyone is usually on the floor helping out with the heavy lifting. The sun hits the yard pretty hard in the afternoon, so we try to get the heavy loading done in the early hours. We don't have a website or do much advertising at all. People usually find us because they saw our trucks or heard about us from someone else in the trade. It is honest work and it keeps us tired, but it pays the bills. We just keep doing what we do, day after day, without much change to the routine.
