Laxmi Steel Industries

Laxmi Steel Industries is out in the MIDC Industrial Area, at No. D/8 in the Second Phase. If you have ever spent time in an industrial zone, you know exactly what it is like. There is a lot of metal clanging, trucks backing up, and that constant smell of grease and iron in the air. We are right in the middle of all that activity. Our shed is quite big because we need the space for all the steel work we do. It gets very loud inside when the machines are running, so we usually have to shout to hear each other. The office part is just a small corner partitioned off with some glass that always seems a bit smudged. We do not have fancy furniture, just some old chairs and desks that have seen better days. Every morning starts with checking the work schedule and seeing which orders need to go out. The floor is usually covered in metal shavings, and we are constantly cleaning up after ourselves. It is a tough environment, but we are used to the heat and the constant noise. Most of the guys working here have been with us for years. We usually eat our lunch together near the main door just to get some fresh air. It is not a glamorous job, but we take the work seriously. We just focus on getting the production done. (248 words)
