Standard Rubber Works

Standard Rubber Works is located on Railway Road in Bilga. We are right near the Ganesh Theatre signal, which is a landmark everyone in town knows. The sound of the trains passing by is something we’ve grown used to over the years. We manufacture various rubber parts here. It’s a manual process for the most part, with machines that have been with us for a long time. The floor is always a bit messy with scraps and the smell of raw rubber, but that’s just the nature of the work. We have a small crew of local guys who know how to handle the molds. It gets quite hot in the summer, especially near the presses, but we keep the fans going. We don’t have a fancy showroom or anything. People who need rubber bushings or gaskets just come straight to the factory gate. We talk about the specs, look at the drawings, and get to work. It’s practical, honest labor. Sometimes the raw material delivery is late because of the traffic at the signal, but we make do. We’ve been a part of the Bilga community for a long time now. Most of our customers are regular regulars who have been buying from us since my father was running the place. We just focus on getting the orders out and making sure the pieces fit like they are supposed to. It is just a regular factory day for us.
