Montex Glass Fiber Industries Pvt. Ltd.

Our factory is at E 76 in the MIDC Ambad industrial area. It’s a big space because we work with glass fiber. It’s different from regular window glass you see in houses. It comes in rolls and thick sheets and it’s a bit itchy on the skin if you aren't careful. The machines make a lot of noise throughout the day so we have to shout a bit to be heard. We have quite a few people working on the factory floor. Ambad is a huge place with many factories but we’ve been at this specific spot for a long time. We spend a lot of time checking the quality of the fibers. If it's not right the whole batch is ruined and we have to start over. We have a small office at the front where we handle the orders and the phone calls. Most days it’s just the sound of the fans and the machines running. We wear gloves and masks because of the dust that comes off the fiber. It’s not a glamorous job at all. We get sweaty and tired by the time the shift ends. But it’s what we do. The industrial area has its own rhythm. Trucks coming in at noon and leaving by five. We keep the gate open for the breeze but it mostly just brings in more dust from the street. We just keep our heads down and get it done.
