Shree Laxmi Dished & Works

You can find Shree Laxmi Dished & Works over at plot 50 in the Bhosari Industrial Estate. It's a large space because the work we do involves big metal plates. We spend a lot of time shaping and pressing steel. It’s heavy work and it makes a lot of noise, especially when the hammers are going. The workshop floor is concrete and scarred from years of moving heavy stuff around. We don't have any air conditioning, so we keep the big doors open to catch whatever breeze comes through. It's a grit-under-your-fingernails kind of place. Most of the guys here have been doing this for years, and they know exactly how the metal is going to react when it gets hit or heated. We don't use fancy computers for everything; a lot of it is just experience and knowing the materials. The address at 50 is right in the heart of the estate. Sometimes traffic gets backed up outside with trucks loading and unloading. We just work around it. It’s not the cleanest environment, but that's how it goes when you're working with raw steel and heat. We show up early, get the machines warmed up, and start on the pile of work waiting for us. It’s steady and it keeps us busy. We don’t really bother with much else besides the work on the floor. It’s just how things are done here in our part of the estate. We take pride in just getting the job finished on time.
