Shatex Fabrics Ltd.

Our place covers Plot No. 398 and 399 in the GIDC Estate over in Pandesara. Having two plots gives Shatex Fabrics Ltd. a bit more room to breathe, which we definitely need with all the fabric we handle. Pandesara is a busy part of town, and the estate is always full of activity. You can hear the sounds of the textile industry all around us. Inside our gates, it’s a lot of moving rolls of cloth and keeping the machines running. The air can get a bit thick with lint, so we’re always keeping the big doors open to get a breeze through. We don’t have any polished showrooms or fancy lighting. It’s just a workspace with high ceilings and a lot of racks. Sometimes the power fluctuations in the estate can be a headache, but we’ve learned to work around them. Our staff is mostly people from the local neighborhood who have been coming here for a long time. We don’t go in for big speeches or mission statements; we just focus on getting the day’s quota done. It’s a lot of manual sorting and packing. By the time the weekend rolls around, we’re all pretty tired, but the work is steady. Being at this address for so long has made us a permanent fixture in the area, and we’re quite alright with that. It’s just a practical place for practical work.
