Surya Glass Fibre Industries

Working at Surya Glass Fibre Industries means you are going to be itchy by the end of the day. Our shop is at Plot No. 6-2 in the Gidc Ind. Estate. We deal with rolls of glass fiber and big drums of resin all the time. The smell of the chemicals is pretty strong, so we keep the big doors open to let the air move through. We make all sorts of things out of the molds we have lined up against the wall. Some are for tanks and some are for smaller parts. You have to be careful with the mats because the little fibers get everywhere, even into your socks. We have a couple of large tables where we lay everything out to cut it to size. It is a messy process, especially when you start mixing the hardener and brushing it on. We spend a lot of time waiting for things to dry so we can pop them out of the molds. The floor at Plot 6-2 is usually covered in little bits of dried resin and offcuts of white fabric. We are not a high-tech lab or anything, just a small industry making durable stuff. Most of us have been doing this for years, so we do not really think about the smell anymore. We just get the orders done and stack the finished pieces in the yard for pickup. It is just how things go for us here.
