Shree Lakshmi Forgings Pvt. Ltd

Our place is tucked away in Kottivakkam, over in Chennai. It’s the Zenith Shiv Flats area, near the Natco Colony on Anna Street. We’ve been doing forgings here for quite some time now. Chennai weather is hot, and the forge makes it even hotter. You get used to the heat after a few months. We deal with heavy metal parts. It’s noisy work. Hammers and heat are the main things here. We have a small crew. Most of the guys have been with us for years. They know the rhythm of the machines. We aren't a corporate giant, even with the Pvt Ltd name. It’s more of a family-style operation. We get orders from different industries. Some days we are swamped with work, and other days we’re just maintaining the equipment. The office is small and the fan stays on all day long. We keep our logs in big notebooks. We don't use much software for the day-to-day. If something needs to be made, we draw it out on paper first. People know where to find us. It’s a quiet corner until we start the machines in the morning. We try to get things done on time, but sometimes the power goes out or a machine needs a part from elsewhere. We just handle it as it comes. The floor is dirty but the metal is good. That's what matters.
