Echo Plast India

Down in Lawrence Road Industrial Area, things move pretty fast. Our place is at B-45. It’s right in the middle of all the other factories and warehouses. If you’ve ever been to this part of Delhi, you know how the trucks line up on the narrow roads. We work with plastics here. It’s not the cleanest job, but it’s what we do. The machines run for most of the day, making different parts and items. You get used to the smell of the raw materials after a while. We don't have any fancy mission statements or posters on the walls. Mostly, it’s just calendars and some old notes taped up. We spend a lot of time making sure the molds are working right. If something breaks, we fix it ourselves. The staff here is a mix of older guys who have been around and some younger ones learning the ropes. We eat our lunch together in the small break area when we get a chance. Lawrence Road is a loud place, always something happening outside. We just stay focused on our own floor. Dealing with plastic means we have to be careful with the heat and the timing. It’s a lot of watching gauges and moving crates around. We aren't trying to be the biggest company, just trying to keep the machines running and the orders going out to the customers who wait for them. It is hard work, but we are used to it after all these years of being here in the city, day in and day out.
