Umberto Ceramics International Pvt Ltd

You can find us on the Sadolia Galteshwar Highway, which is part of National Highway 8. We are based in Prantij, Sabarkantha. Umberto Ceramics International Pvt Ltd is a place where we focus on ceramic production. Being out on the highway means we have plenty of room for our kilns and the storage yards where we keep the raw materials. It’s a lot of physical work and the environment is quite industrial. There is usually a layer of fine white dust over everything, which is just part of working with ceramics. The noise from the highway is something we’ve all stopped noticing after being here for so long. We have a small office at the front, but most of the action happens in the back where the machines are running. Our workers mostly come from the local villages around Prantij. It’s a very practical setup. We don't have fancy meeting rooms or anything like that. If we need to talk, we usually just stand around one of the worktables. The heat from the kilns can be quite intense during the summer months, so we try to keep the fans going as much as we can. We’ve been at this location for a while and we have a routine that works for us. It’s a busy place with trucks coming in to load up and head out to different parts of the state. It’s just hard work and ceramics.
