L M Van Moppes Diamond Tools

You can find us over in Bhosari, which is the heart of the industrial area here. L M Van Moppes Diamond Tools is our name, and we’ve been working out of this spot for a long time. The address says Crawford Market 10/A/514, which sometimes confuses people who are thinking of the one in Mumbai, but we are firmly planted here in the Pune side of things. The workshop is usually a bit noisy because making diamond tools isn't a quiet process. There is always the sound of grinding or metal against metal. It’s a gritty job, and our clothes usually have some dust or oil on them by the end of the day. Bhosari is a place where people work hard, and we fit right in. We have some heavy machinery that’s been with us for years, and we know exactly how each one sounds when it’s running right. Lunch is usually a quick affair, maybe some tiffin from home shared among the guys. We don't have a fancy canteen or anywhere special to sit. The air in Bhosari is thick with the smell of industry, and we are just one small part of that machine. We focus on making tools that actually last, because our customers are other workers who don't have time for things that break. It’s honest, difficult work, and we take pride in getting the measurements exactly where they need to be before anything leaves the shop floor for a customer.
