Titan Gold & Jewellery Factory in Hosur, Tamilnadu, India

JulieW · May 6, 2016

From an interesting little article on rarely visited destinations:

"The Titan Gold & Jewellery Factory in Hosur, Tamilnadu, India is a huge facility which does everything from purifying raw gold dust to producing high end jewellery. Each year, a few loyal customers are allowed inside the factory for a tour ... Saying they are paranoid with their security is an understatement. There's thorough frisking at the entry, lockers for any belongings and everyone required to wear footwear, masks and shower caps.
"We saw a purifying furnace where black coloured impure and raw gold dust is melted to give out purified gold blocks. Here we could hold blocks and slabs of gold ranging from one to 20kg. There's also a chemical plant where the gold is left for eight hours to remove all chemical impurities. The blocks are then sent to the foundry to be bent and moulded.
"These are then sent into the jewellery design unit where wax moulds are used to make different designs in mini furnaces. The completed jewels are hand polished and then huge robotic arms sort them into different compartments to be sent out.
"While exiting we had to stand on these big exhaust fans which are placed to suck in any gold dust that might have stuck to our clothes and then subjected to two more security checks."
