Ace Gum Industries Pvt. Ltd.

Down at 110/1/10 in the Himalaya Ind. Estate, things can get pretty sticky. That is where we run Ace Gum Industries Pvt. Ltd. from. It’s an industrial area, so there is always the sound of machinery and trucks loading up. We work with various types of gums and adhesives, which means the floor is never quite as clean as we’d like it to be. The estate is a bit of a maze, but once you find our unit, you’ll see we are usually in the middle of a production run. It’s a lot of monitoring temperatures and mixing things in big tanks. We’ve been here for years and have seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. The heat in the summer makes the work even tougher, but we just get on with it. We don't have a big corporate office with air conditioning everywhere. It’s more of a functional space where the focus is on the product. Our lunch break is usually spent sitting outside if the weather allows, just taking a breather from the noise. We have a small group of workers who have been with us through everything. We don't spend much time on fancy brochures or things like that. We just make sure the quality of the gum is right before it goes out the door. It’s hard work, but it’s our living and we take it seriously.
