Aakash Electroplating

We are located on Talawade Road within the Bibwewadi Industrial Estate. Aakash Electroplating is one of the many shops you’ll find in this busy industrial cluster. If you walk into our place, you’ll see the tanks and smell the chemicals we use for the plating process. It’s a very specific kind of environment. We’ve been in Bibwewadi for quite some time, so we’ve seen the industrial estate change over the years. Our work is all about dipping parts and making sure the coating is even and sticks well. It’s not a glamorous job. Your clothes usually end up with a few spots on them and it’s always a bit damp near the vats. We are a small team here, just a handful of workers who know the timing and the mixtures needed for the different metals. We don't have a big marketing department or a polished website. Most of our work comes from other local factories that need their components plated before they can use them. We just stick to what we know. The traffic on Talawade Road can be a nightmare in the evenings, but we are usually too busy inside the workshop to notice much of it until it’s time to head home. It’s just regular industrial work, done by people who have been in the trade for a long time here in Bibwewadi.
