Anand Aluminum Industries

You'll find us at shop number 8 in the Arwattigi Zenith building. We’re right near the Arwattigi petrol pump on the Sangli Miraj Road. It’s a busy stretch of road with a lot of cars going by. We work with aluminum, mostly making frames for windows and doors. The shop is full of long metal rods and saws. It gets quite loud when we're cutting the metal. There’s always silver dust on the floor. We’ve been at this location for a while now. Most people find us because they’re getting gas next door and see our shop. We don't have a big showroom. We just show people samples of the metal and the glass. It’s a practical business. We go out to people's houses to measure and then come back here to do the actual cutting and assembly. Sometimes the measurements are tricky, but we figure it out. The sun hits the front of the shop in the afternoon, so it gets pretty warm inside. We usually have the radio playing while we work. It's just a few of us here. We don't use fancy marketing. We just do the work and hope people like it enough to tell their friends. It's a steady job and we like being part of the local community on the Miraj Road. Sometimes we have tea with the guys from the petrol pump when we get a break.
