C G Metal Lab

We’ve been over at Plot No. 51 in Shivam Estate Phase-2 for quite a while now. It’s part of the GIDC area. C G Metal Lab isn't a big fancy operation, but we keep busy with the testing work people send our way. The shop floor is usually a bit noisy with the machines running. Most of us here have been doing this for years, so we know our way around a metal sample. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit backed up when it's busy, but that's just how it goes in a lab. We get all kinds of bits and pieces coming through the door. People from the nearby industrial units drop things off, and we get to work. It's mostly about checking what’s inside the metal and making sure it's what it’s supposed to be. The heat in the GIDC can be a bit much in the summer, but the tea guy comes around twice a day, which helps. We don't have a big front office or anything like that. You just walk in past the main gate and find us. It’s practical work. Nothing too glamorous about testing steel and alloys all day, but it pays the bills and keeps the local industry moving. We’ve seen the Shivam Estate change quite a bit over the years, more buildings going up every day. We just stay focused on the benches and the equipment. It works for us.
