Three Star Plastic Industries

Way down in Edarikode, specifically in the Puthupparamba area, you’ll find Three Star Plastic Industries. We operate out of a modest building that’s seen better days, but it serves us just fine for what we do. Inside, there is a lot of plastic in different forms, from raw pellets to the finished items we produce every day. The machines are the main feature here; they run with a constant hum that fills the room. It’s not the quietest place to work, but we like the rhythm of it. We spend a lot of time watching the molds and making sure everything is coming out the way it should. Sometimes a machine jams or a part needs replacing, and we have to roll up our sleeves and fix it ourselves. It's a hands-on kind of job. The local post office at Puthupparamba is our main landmark. We aren't trying to be the biggest factory around, just a reliable one that gets the work done. The heat from the plastic melting can be a bit much during the summer months, but we have some old fans that help a little. We have a small crew and most of us have been here for years. We know each other’s habits and how the machines behave. It’s just a simple, local operation where we put in the hours and go home.
