Rathi Plastic Industries

Rathi Plastic Industries is situated at Plot No 38 in Kattedan, over in the Rajendranagar area. If you come by, you’ll see we are right in the heart of the industrial zone. We work with plastics, mostly molding and shaping things for various everyday uses. It gets pretty warm near the machines because they have to melt the materials down before they go into the molds. The smell of plastic is something you just get used to after working here for a couple of days. We have rows of heavy molds stacked up against the walls. Some of them are for items we make all the time, and others are for special one-off requests. It’s a fairly repetitive job, but you have to stay sharp to make sure the quality stays consistent. We aren't a high-tech laboratory; we’re a working factory floor. Most of our staff live nearby, so we’re a local bunch. We don’t put on any acts for visitors who walk in. What you see is exactly what we are. There’s usually a bit of a mess with plastic scraps on the floor, but we sweep up at the end of every shift. Kattedan is always moving, and we try to keep pace with everything else around us. We don't spend any money on marketing brochures or flyers. We just focus on making sure the machines are running and the orders are packed properly. It's a living, and we take it one day at a time.
