Shivanand Casting

You can find us right behind Krishna Park on the Gondal Highway. Being near a highway means there’s always a layer of grit on the windows, but we don't mind. This is a casting shop, so it’s naturally hot and messy. We spend the mornings preparing the molds and the afternoons pouring the metal. It’s heavy work and it wears you out by the end of the week. The furnace has its own personality, and you have to know just how to handle it. We’ve been at this location for a long time, and we’ve seen the area around Krishna Park grow quite a bit. There used to be just fields, but now it’s all workshops and small factories. Our team is small, just some local guys who aren't afraid of getting their clothes dirty. We don't have a fancy reception area. If you come by, you’ll probably find us covered in sand or soot. We just focus on making sure the castings come out solid without any cracks. It’s a lot of physical labor and sweating under the tin roof. We take our tea breaks under the neem tree outside when it’s too hot to stay inside. We don't really have a big plan for the future. We just want to keep the foundry running and do good work for the people who hire us. It keeps us busy and we like the routine of the pour and the cooling down period.
