Excel Metal & Engg. Industries

Excel Metal & Engg. Industries is located right in the middle of 3rd Kumbharwada. Our building, J.T Bldg., is one of those older structures you find in this part of Mumbai. We’re at 177/181, and honestly, the street can be a real squeeze with all the handcarts and delivery vans trying to get through. It’s a noisy area, full of the sounds of metal hitting metal and people shouting over the din. We’ve been working here for a long time, and the walls of our unit are covered in years of grime and grease. We do a lot of engineering work, mostly small parts and industrial components that people need. It’s a tight space, so we have to be very organized with our tools and materials. You can’t really afford to be messy when you’re working in Kumbharwada. We usually have the radio playing in the background to keep things lively while we work on the lathes or weld something together. It’s honest work, and we don’t really bother with any of that corporate talk. We just tell you what we can do and then we do it. Sometimes the monsoon rains make things a bit difficult with the leaks in the roof, but we just put out some buckets and keep going. It’s just the way things are around here. We’re part of the furniture in this neighborhood now, just another shop making things for the city.
