Shripad Engineers Co.

Our workshop, Shripad Engineers Co., is located at 645 G.I.D.C. Makarpura. This part of Vadodara is basically the heart of the engineering industry in the region. There is always the sound of metal hitting metal or the hum of a lathe running somewhere nearby. Our shop floor is usually covered in a thin layer of oil and metal shavings, no matter how much we try to sweep it up. It’s a tough place to work because it gets really hot in the summer months, but we have big industrial fans that help a little. We spend our days looking at drawings and trying to make sure the parts we produce are exactly the right size. Our office is just a small room partitioned off from the main floor so we can hear the phone when it rings. We’ve got some old wooden chairs and a calendar from three years ago still hanging on the wall. We don't worry much about how the place looks to outsiders because we are usually too busy with the machines. Most of our workers have been with us for a long time and they know exactly how each piece of equipment sounds when it's running right. It’s a noisy, greasy, and busy place, but it’s where we feel most comfortable. We just focus on the engineering side of things and making sure the orders go out to the other factories in the GIDC.
