H. R. Elastics & General Mills

H. R. Elastics & General Mills is located in Basti Jodhewal, right on the Main Road near Sunder Nagar. It’s an old part of town and we’ve been here for quite some time. We make elastics and handle some general milling work too. The building is right there where the traffic from the main road is always buzzing by. It’s a bit of an older setup, not one of those new glass factories you see nowadays. We have some old machines that still work better than the new ones if you know how to treat them right. The air smells a bit like fabric and dust, which is just part of the job. Most of the people working here have been friends for years. We don’t have a big HR department or any of that. If there’s a problem, we just talk it out over a break. We get a lot of walk-ins because we’re so close to Sunder Nagar. People know they can find us easily. We aren’t trying to be the biggest company out there. We just want to keep the mill running and make sure our customers get what they asked for. It’s a humble place, with stains on the walls and plenty of history in the floors. We just keep at it, day in and day out, making sure the elastics are strong. It's a lot of manual work but we don't mind the labor. We just keep going.
