West Coast Extrusion Pvt. Ltd.

Down in Phase-3 of the Gidc, you’ll find our factory at Plot No. 3692. We do extrusion work, which is basically just shaping metal through dies. It is a loud process and the machines are quite old, but they still run better than some of the newer ones we've seen. The floor is always a bit oily, and you have to watch your step. We don’t have a receptionist or a lobby for visitors. If you come by, you’ll probably just see one of us covered in grease near the back. We focus on getting the dimensions right because that’s what actually matters. Our team is small, mostly guys from the local village who have learned the trade over many years. We take our breaks together and talk about the weather or the local cricket scores. There’s no big corporate ladder here. Everyone knows what their job is and they just do it. The building itself is just a big metal shed, really. It keeps the rain off the equipment, and that’s about all we need it to do. Sometimes the trucks have trouble backing into the driveway because it's a bit narrow, but we always manage to make it work somehow. We are just a group of people making parts and trying to stay busy enough to keep the lights on every month. It is a simple life.
