Plastic Components (India)

Plastic Components (India) is located at C/171 in Naraina Industrial Area Phase I. It’s a busy place, like most of Naraina. We’ve got our setup in one of the standard industrial plots, and it’s filled with the sound of injectors and cooling systems. We make all sorts of little plastic bits—things you might not even notice in a finished product but are necessary for it to work. The shop floor is always active, and there’s a constant flow of raw material coming in and finished bins going out. I spend most of my day between the machines and the small office space we partitioned off near the front. It’s not fancy; the floor is concrete and there are bags of granules stacked up near the entrance. We don’t do a lot of talking here because of the noise, so we rely on a lot of hand signals and routine. The heat from the machines can be a bit much in July, but that’s the nature of the work. We’ve been operating out of this unit for a good number of years now. Most of our clients are other businesses in the city who need specific parts. We don’t have a sales team or a glossy brochure. We just show people what we can make on the machines we have. It’s a straightforward, hardworking environment, and we like the rhythm of it.
