Metal Pressing Industries

Metal Pressing Industries operates out of No. 155 Nagdevi Street, specifically at B-20 on the ground floor of the Sussex Industrial Estate. If you know this part of Byculla, you know Nagdevi Street is the place for anything related to hardware and industrial supplies. It’s a gritty area, full of the smell of grease and the sound of metal clanking. Our spot in the Sussex estate is a bit old-fashioned. The floors are concrete and stained from years of work, and the lighting isn’t the brightest, but it’s exactly what an industrial workshop should be. We have our heavy machines set up, and they take up most of the space. It’s loud when everything is running, so we usually have to shout to be heard over the noise. We’ve been here at Dadoji Kandedo X Marg for a long time. The estate itself has seen better days, but it has a lot of character. We don’t have a fancy office with air conditioning; we just have our workspace and a small desk where we keep the logs. Most of the guys have been working here for years and they know the machines inside out. We deal with a lot of dust and metal shavings every day. It’s hard work and your hands get dirty within the first five minutes of the shift. We just focus on getting the pressing done and making sure the parts are ready for whoever needs them.
