Vijay Fabricators

If you look for the Shiv Mandir, you will find Vijay Fabricators right near there. It is a landmark everyone knows, so it makes it easy for people to find us. The shop is basically an open front where the welding happens. You can see the sparks from the street most mornings. We do a lot of gate work and window grills. It’s heavy work and our hands are usually covered in black soot by lunchtime. We have a couple of welding machines and a big cutting table that takes up most of the room. There is always a pile of iron rods sitting outside waiting to be used. The noise can be quite loud when we are grinding down the edges of a fresh weld. We don't have a fancy showroom. Everything we make is sitting right there on the floor or leaning against the walls. Sometimes customers stop by just to chat since we are so close to the temple. The weather affects us a lot; if it’s raining, we have to move everything inside and it gets very tight. We use simple tools and traditional ways of putting things together. It’s an honest way to make a living. We’ve been doing this in this spot for a while now. The sign above the door is a bit faded from the sun, but people still know we are here. We just work hard and keep things moving along.
