Allied Metal Pressings Pvt. Ltd.

Down at F- 122 in the MIDC area of Satpur, you will find our metal pressing plant. It’s an industrial spot, so it is loud and there is a lot of grease and metal shavings around. We are Allied Metal Pressings, and we have been operating here for quite some time now. The machines are old but they still do the job if you treat them right. We spend our shifts moving sheets of metal and making sure the presses are hitting the right spots. It is physical work and we usually go home with dirty hands and tired backs. The office is just a small corner with a desk and some filing cabinets for the orders. We don't have many visitors, mostly just delivery trucks and people picking up their parts. It’s a very practical business. If the machine breaks, we spend the afternoon fixing it ourselves. There is a specific smell to the place—oil and hot metal—that you get used to after a while. We aren't trying to be the biggest factory in Satpur, just a reliable one that gets the orders out on time. The lights are a bit dim and the floor is concrete, but it’s where we do our work every day. We just focus on the task in front of us and keep the machines running until it's time to lock up. We have an old radio playing in the background most of the time, though you can barely hear it.
