AWNINGS

We are located in Jogeshwari West at the M H B Colony. Our workshop is on the first floor of Mevalal Chawl, in the Vee section. It is a very lively and crowded area, which is typical for this part of Mumbai. Since we are on the first floor, we spend a lot of time carrying heavy rolls of fabric and metal frames up and down the stairs. It is quite a workout and we don't really need to go to a gym because of it. Our business name is simply AWNINGS because that is exactly what we make. We don't see the point in having a long or complicated name. Inside our workshop, you will find several heavy-duty sewing machines and a lot of cutting tables. There is usually fabric scrap on the floor and the smell of industrial glue in the air. We are a small group of workers who have been doing this for a long time. We don't have a showroom where you can sit on fancy chairs. Usually, customers just come by and look at the materials we have or show us photos of what they want. Most of our work comes from people seeing our awnings on other buildings and asking who made them. It is a lot of manual labor, especially when the weather is hot, but we make things that last. We just focus on the task at hand and try to get every order finished by the time the customer needs it.
