Kumar Nails

We’ve been at Plot 2752 in Metoda for a while now. It’s right across from Topaz Cement, near the Kranti Gate. If you know the G.I.D.C. area, you know how busy it gets with all the trucks and workers. Our day starts early here, usually before the sun is even fully up. The machines for making nails are pretty loud, so there’s always a constant hum in the background while we work. It’s mostly about keeping the wire fed and making sure the sizes come out right for the orders. We handle a lot of different orders for construction stuff around Gujarat. Sometimes the power goes out or a machine gets stuck, but that’s just part of being in an industrial zone like this. We don’t have a fancy office or any soft chairs. Most of our time is spent on the shop floor checking the bins and making sure the metal is good. People stop by to pick up bags of nails for their small building projects. It gets very dusty in the summer, especially with the heavy road traffic right outside our gate. My brother and a few local guys help run things. We’ve seen a lot of businesses come and go around here, but we just keep doing our thing. It's not glamorous work, but nails are something everyone needs eventually. If you're driving down Road I-1, you’ll see our small sign hanging there. We just try to get the orders done on time and keep the equipment running.
