Aristo Rubber Products

Aristo Rubber Products is located at No. 4/9, Pillayar Koil Street in Ekkattu Thangal, which is part of the Guindy area. It’s a busy little street and sometimes finding a place to park is a real headache. Our building is right there near the temple, and you can usually tell you’re close by the smell of processed rubber. We make all sorts of rubber items here. It’s hot work, especially in the summer, but the crew is used to it. We have a few old machines that have been running forever and some newer ones too. We don't have a fancy showroom. If you want to see what we make, we just show you the bins full of parts in the back. Most of our day is spent checking the molds and making sure the rubber is curing correctly. We get a lot of local orders from other businesses in Guindy. Sometimes people just walk in off the street because they need a specific washer or a gasket and they heard we might have it. We don’t use much technology besides what’s needed to run the machines. It’s a dirty job sometimes, with black dust getting on everything, but it’s what we do. We eat our lunch together in the small break area and then get back to the presses. It's a simple, honest way to make a living in a busy part of town.
