JRD Rubber & Plastic Thechnology private limited

The place is at K 49 in Model Town. It’s a bit different from the big industrial sectors, as Model Town has its own rhythm. Here at JRD Rubber & Plastic Thechnology private limited, the day starts pretty early when the shutters go up. There is a specific smell that comes with working with rubber and plastic all day, it's something you just get used to after a week. The building at K 49 isn't huge, but we make use of every square inch. We have the machines for the plastic bits on one side and the rubber stuff on the other. It gets a bit cramped when a new shipment of raw material arrives and blocks the walkway. The staff usually brings their own tiffin, and we sit around the small table in the back during lunch. We’ve got some old fans that rattle quite a bit in the summer heat, but they keep the air moving. Dealing with technology in this field means keeping an eye on the molds and the temperature all the time. It’s mostly hands-on work. The neighbors know us by the sound of the delivery vans pulling up to the curb. We don't have a big front office or anything like that. It’s just the workshop and a couple of desks for the paperwork. It is a steady kind of life here in Model Town, just doing the work.
