Patel Starch

Being located in the M.I.D.C. Area means we are surrounded by factories and big trucks. Our spot is at M - 91. It’s a dusty part of town, but that’s just how it is when you’re doing this kind of work. We handle starch, so things can get a bit messy, but we don’t mind getting our hands dirty. The building has been here for quite some time. We have a small crew and we all know each other’s families by now. It’s the kind of place where the kettle is always on. We don’t have a receptionist or anything like that. If you come by, you’ll probably find one of us near the loading dock or in the back office checking orders. The road outside has a few potholes that never seem to get fixed, but we manage. We work long hours when the demand is high. It’s hard work, but it’s honest. We don’t bother with fancy brochures or marketing talk. People find us because they know where we are and what we do. The smell of the industrial area is something you get used to after a week. It’s just us here, making sure everything is moving along as it should. We like the routine of it all. Sometimes we have to wait for the trucks to arrive for hours, so we just sit on the crates and talk about the news. It is a simple life and we are okay with that.
