National Metal Pressing & Engineering Works

National Metal Pressing & Engineering Works is located over in Lower Parel. You can find us at unit 15 in the Ideal Industrial Estate, which is part of the Ganga Osian Park area. This part of Mumbai used to be all mills, and now it’s a mix of everything. Our workshop is full of heavy machines. There’s always the sound of metal being pressed or cut. It’s not a quiet place to work. We’ve got some oil stains on the floor and tools hanging on the walls where they've been for years. We do engineering work, mostly pressing metal parts for different uses. It’s hard work and it gets hot in the afternoons. We don't have a receptionist or a waiting room. If you come by, you’ll likely see us in our work clothes covered in a bit of dust. We take pride in just getting the job done. The Ideal Industrial Estate is a maze of small shops like ours. We’ve been here long enough to know how the machines sound when they’re running right. We don't do much online; we mostly just talk to people who come by or call our landline. It’s a traditional way of doing things. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that. We just focus on the metalwork and making sure the dimensions are correct. It’s about the grit and the effort we put in every morning.
