Skylab Paints Pvt. Ltd.

Our factory is located at C-1, B-033 in the Vapi GIDC Industrial Estate. Vapi is one of those places that never really sleeps, and being in the GIDC means we’re surrounded by industry all the time. Since we’re Skylab Paints, you can imagine there’s a bit of color around the place, though mostly it’s just industrial gray like everything else here. The building is a standard shed where we do all our mixing and packing. It gets pretty loud when the mixers are running, so we usually have to shout to be heard over the noise. We’ve got stacks of tins and buckets everywhere, waiting to be filled or shipped out. It’s not a clean-room environment; it’s a paint factory. There are spills on the floor sometimes and the smell of solvents is always there. We’ve been in this Vapi location for quite some time now. We know the local logistics and the people who run the transport companies. We don't have a corporate headquarters in a skyscraper. This is where all the decisions are made, right here on the factory floor. We focus on getting the shades right and making sure the stuff is what it needs to be for the jobs. It’s hard work, especially when the weather is hot, but we’ve got a good rhythm going. It’s a practical, no-nonsense setup for a local paint business that has been around the block.
