Pioneer Embroideries Ltd.

Out here in Manesar, things feel a bit different than the city. Pioneer Embroideries Ltd. sits at Plot 18 in Sector 4, and it’s mostly just the sound of machines and trucks passing by all day. We get to the unit early, usually when the air is still a bit cool before the dust starts kicking up from the road. The building isn't anything special to look at, just a practical space where we keep the embroidery lines running. There is a lot of floor space to cover, and someone is always walking from one end to the other with a stack of fabric or some papers. Sometimes the canteen gets crowded during the lunch break, and everyone just sits around talking about their commute or the weather. We’ve seen this area change quite a bit over the years, with more buildings going up around us, but our routine stays pretty much the same. The machines have their own rhythm, a kind of constant hum that you eventually stop noticing after a few hours. When an order is finished, we pile it up near the loading dock and wait for the transport guys to show up. It’s a lot of manual work, checking the threads and making sure everything is moving right. By the time the evening shift takes over, the floor is usually covered in little bits of thread that need sweeping up before we can head home.
