Shivom Plastic Industries

Shivom Plastic Industries is located inside the Silk City Textile Market in Malad West. It’s a bit of a different kind of place because most of the shops around us sell fabric and clothes, but we deal with plastics. Our unit is always humming with the sound of the molding machines. It can get pretty warm inside, especially during the summer months when the machines have been running for hours. We have sacks of raw material stacked up against the walls and finished products waiting to be shipped out. It’s not a polished showroom. It’s a working factory floor where things get a bit messy. My cousins and I do most of the work ourselves. We don't have a big corporate structure or anything like that. We just take the orders as they come and try to get them finished. The market is always crowded with people moving bundles of cloth, so it can be a bit of a challenge to get our delivery trucks in and out. We’ve been here for several years now and we've gotten used to the noise and the hustle of Malad West. We just keep our heads down and do the work. It’s a straightforward business and we don't do any big advertising. People just know we are here in the market. We try to keep things simple and just focus on production every day.
