Flair Pen & Plastic Industries

You can find us at Survey Number 2139/4 in Nanekarwadi. We are right across from the Vijay Oil Mills. It’s a bit of a trek to get out here, but this is where the factory is. At Flair Pen & Plastic Industries, things are always moving. We have machines running most of the time, and the sound of plastic being molded is just part of the background now. The smell of the oil mills across the road comes over when the wind blows the right way. It’s an industrial area, so there aren't many trees, just a lot of trucks and sheds. Our office is just a small partitioned space inside the main shed. It’s quite dusty because of all the construction nearby. We have a small crew of workers who have been with us for a long time. We mostly focus on getting the daily production numbers right so we don't fall behind. If a machine breaks down, it’s a bad day for everyone. We spend a lot of time checking the quality of the pens and the plastic parts. We aren't a big corporate office, just a bunch of people making things. We eat our tiffin together in the small shade outside during the break. The road out front gets muddy when it rains, so we all wear old shoes to work. It is hard work, but we like seeing the finished boxes ready to go out.
