Crystal Concrete Products

Our place is in Kuttemperoor, which is a quiet little area in the Allappuzha district. We work with concrete, so our yard is mostly filled with things like blocks, pipes, or maybe some paving stones depending on what we’ve been making that week. It’s a dusty environment because of the cement and the sand, but we’re used to that. Being in Alappuzha, the humidity is usually quite high, which actually helps a bit with the concrete curing process. We have a basic setup with some mixers and molds laid out on the ground. It’s a very manual process, and we spend most of the day with our hands dirty, making sure the mix is right and the products are coming out solid. There is a small shed where we keep the bags of cement dry, especially when the monsoon rains start coming down hard. We don't have many employees, just a few local guys who know how to handle the heavy lifting. We don’t have a fancy sales team or anything like that. People from the village or nearby towns just drive up and tell us what they need for their compound walls or their drainage. We load the items onto their small trucks or carts and that’s that. It’s a simple life and the work is steady. We’ve been at this Kuttemperoor location for a while now, and everyone around here knows the sound of our machinery running during the day. We try to get everything finished before it gets too dark to see what we're doing. It is honest labor and it keeps us going.
