Chokshi Metal Refinery

Working in Udhna at number 11 is where we spend our time. This is Chokshi Metal Refinery, and as you can probably guess from the name, it involves a lot of heat and metal. It’s not a clean job, but it’s what we’ve been doing for years. Udhna is an industrial area, so we fit right in with the noise and the smoke. Our place is simple. We have the equipment we need and not much else. We don't have a fancy showroom or a big sign with lights. People who need us usually know where we are already. We deal with various metals every day, melting things down and refining them. It takes a lot of patience and some muscle too. My family has been around the metal business for a long time. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to provide a service that people in the trade need. The workshop can get pretty loud when the machines are running, so we usually have to shout to be heard. It's honest work. Sometimes we are here late into the night if a big batch needs finishing. There's a lot of soot and dust, but that's just part of the trade. We drink a lot of tea to keep going. We don't spend money on marketing or anything like that. If the work is good, people come back. That's how it's always been for us at number 11.
