Sai Plastic Industries

We operate out of Ghulewadi Phata, where the machines are always humming. If you walk into our shed, you’ll see rows of plastic products stacked up. It’s a factory environment, so it gets warm and smells like raw materials. We make a variety of items that people use in their homes or businesses. Our workers are mostly locals who have been with us for years. They know exactly how to handle the molds and the heat. Sometimes a machine breaks down, and we spend half the day fixing it ourselves. That’s just part of the business. We don't have a big marketing team or a fancy website. Most of our work comes from people who know us or have seen our products around. The trucks come and go, loading up bags of finished goods to take to the market. We start early in the morning when the air is still cool. By midday, it’s pretty loud inside. We keep an eye on the quality of everything that comes off the line. If it’s not right, we melt it down and start again. It’s a straightforward way of working. We’ve had some tough times, like when the power goes out, but we just wait it out and get back to work as soon as we can. It’s an honest living here at the Phata. We've got a small office corner with a desk that’s always covered in order slips and delivery notes.
