Kei Industries Ltd.

Working out here in Silvassa at Madhuban Industrial Estate is quite different from being in a big city. The unit at 99/2/7 is a large space because we deal with a lot of heavy material that takes up a lot of room on the floor. Most of the day is spent watching the big spools turn and making sure the wires are coming out the way they should. It gets very humid here, especially during the monsoon season when the rain hits the tin roof so hard you can’t hear yourself talk. We have different shifts coming in and out, so the place never really stays quiet for long. There is always a forklift moving somewhere or a truck backing into the loading bay to pick up a shipment. The office is just a small partitioned area at the front where we keep the logs and the delivery notes. We don't really do much marketing or anything; people just know where we are and what we make. The walk from the main gate to the factory floor is a bit long, but it gives you a chance to see what everyone else in the estate is busy with. It’s a lot of hard work, especially when we have big batches to finish, but we just take it one day at a time and keep the machines running.
