Kokan Malleble Industries

Dhankawadi Road has a lot of small shops and homes all mixed together. We are located inside the Smit Shivananda Society. It's a bit tucked away from the main path but we've been at 6/2 for many years now. Working with malleble iron isn't easy work. It’s very hot and the machines we use make a lot of noise throughout the day. We make small parts that eventually go into much bigger machines. The workshop floor is usually covered in a fine layer of grey dust from all the grinding we do. We try to start as early as we can in the morning before the sun gets too high in the sky. By the middle of the day, the heat from the furnace is quite a lot to handle. We have a few men working here who have been with us for over ten years. They know exactly how the machines should sound when everything is running correctly. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It's just one small room with a wooden table and some old chairs. We talk to the neighbors in the society and try our best not to be too loud during the early or late hours. It’s a family-run operation mostly. We handle the orders as they come in one by one. Some days are very slow and we just clean. Other days we are working late to finish a batch.
