Metalshine Enterprises

You can find Metalshine Enterprises on Udhana Magdalla Road, specifically in Manoj Society, B 54. It’s a busy road in Surat, always full of traffic and noise. We do a lot of metal finishing and shining work here, hence the name. The workshop is usually a bit messy with polish and cloths and metal pieces waiting to be worked on. It’s not the kind of place where you’d want to wear your best clothes because you’re likely to get some grease or dust on them. We have a few machines that run most of the day, making a steady humming sound that we don't even notice anymore. We’ve been here in this society for a good bit of time. Neighbors know us as the guys who are always working with metal pieces. We don't really do any fancy advertising; people just hear about us or see the sign when they’re driving past on the main road. It’s a small operation, just a couple of us handling the orders as they come in. Sometimes the sun hits the workshop and it gets incredibly hot, so we have a couple of fans going full blast to stay cool. We just try to get the shine right on every piece that comes through the door. It’s straightforward work and we just take it one day at a time. The floor is usually stained with oil, but that's just a sign of work.
