Eastern Chemical Industries

Working out of Vapi Gidc means you’re always in the middle of the action. Our spot at Plot 196/3 is right near the Vapi Paper Mill, so there’s always trucks coming and going on the road outside. It gets pretty dusty, but that’s just life in Phase-2. We deal with chemicals, which means we spend a lot of time checking valves and making sure the drums are sealed tight before they leave. It’s a messy job sometimes, and the smell of the industrial estate is something you just get used to after a week of working here. We’ve got a couple of mixing tanks that have seen better days, but they still do the job just fine. The guys on the floor know the routine by heart now. We don't spend money on fancy uniforms or shiny office furniture. Most of our day is spent in the shed, keeping an eye on the temperature gauges and moving pallets around with the old hand jack. It’s hot work, especially in the afternoons when the humidity picks up, but we manage. We aren’t trying to be the biggest outfit in Vapi, just trying to keep the orders moving out the gate on time. If a batch isn't right, we just start over until it is. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday. We usually finish the day with a quick wash and a walk to the main road to catch the bus.
