Essel Propack Ltd.

We are located out at 121/p on the Silvassa Vapi Road, specifically in Amli village. Essel Propack is basically a big manufacturing shed where we make tubes for things like toothpaste or creams. It is quite a drive from the main town, and the road gets very dusty when the wind picks up. Inside the factory, it is quite loud because the plastic molding machines never really stop. We have shifts running through the night sometimes. The air smells a bit like hot plastic, which you get used to after a few days of working here. We have a lot of people from the local village who come in to work on the assembly lines. It is not a corporate headquarters with people in suits; it is a place where people wear uniforms and earplugs. We have a small canteen where we eat lunch, and usually, the talk is just about the weather or the cricket scores. Sometimes a machine breaks down and we all have to wait for the maintenance guy to find the right tool. It is just a regular factory life. We make millions of tubes and they all look the same to us after a while. We just keep an eye on the quality and make sure the boxes are stacked properly for the lorries that come in the evening.
