Krishna Rubber Industries

Our place is in the Palej GIDC, at plot number 821. Palej is a bit of a drive, but it’s a good hub for industries like ours. We work with rubber, so the smell is something you just get used to after a couple of days. The factory isn't anything special to look at, just a sturdy building with enough space for our presses and molds. It gets pretty hot inside when the machines are running, but that is just the nature of the business. We have a local crew from the surrounding areas who come in every morning. We aren't a massive corporation with layers of management. If there is a problem, we just walk over and fix it. We spend a lot of our time checking the output and making sure the rubber parts are coming out the way they should. The yard is usually full of raw materials or finished goods waiting to be loaded onto a truck. It can be a bit disorganized at times, especially when we are busy, but we know where everything is. We don't have a website that gets updated or a social media page. We just focus on the orders we have and making sure they get sent out on time. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, and we’ve been doing it this way for quite a while now. We keep the kettle going for tea and just get on with it.
