Job Work Services

Job work is contract manufacturing where Unity Facilities processes raw material or semi-finished goods supplied by a principal manufacturer — performing a defined operation such as drilling, milling, cutting, or painting — and returns the processed component without taking ownership of the underlying material. It lets automotive and electronics OEMs and Tier suppliers in Pune's manufacturing belt add processing capacity without adding headcount, machines, or floor space to their own facility.

Overflow capacity, one operation at a time

Job work lets you add a specific processing step — drilling, milling, cutting, or painting — without adding the machines, floor space, or headcount that operation would otherwise demand in-house. You keep ownership of the material; Unity performs the defined operation and returns the finished component.

It is the lightest-touch engagement in our manufacturing cluster. Where manufacturing outsourcing hands over an entire production process, job work stays scoped to one operation on parts you still own — the right fit when you need overflow or specialist capacity, not a supply-chain restructure.

How it works

  1. Scope and material handover

    Unity reviews the drawing, tolerance, and finish requirements with your engineering team, then receives the raw material or semi-finished parts on a documented gate-in.

  2. Process execution

    Our job-work team performs the agreed operation — drilling, milling, cutting, painting, or a combination — using the specifications and quality checkpoints you define, on your material, not ours.

  3. Quality check and dispatch

    Processed components are inspected against your acceptance criteria before dispatch back to your line, with full traceability on quantities in versus quantities returned.

  4. Ongoing capacity, on demand

    For clients running recurring job-work volumes, Unity holds standing capacity so a fresh production run doesn't require renegotiating terms from scratch each time.

Compliance specifics

Factories ActContract Labour (R&A) Act

Job work arrangements still put workers on Unity's premises or under Unity's supervision, which means the same statutory obligations apply as any manufacturing operation: compliance with the Factories Act for the premises and safety conditions where the work is performed, and — where Unity's own contract labour is engaged to execute the job work — registration and licensing obligations under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act.

We handle these obligations on our side of the arrangement so your procurement and legal teams aren't carrying compliance risk for work performed off your own premises.

Frequently asked questions

  • Job work is a defined, discrete operation — drilling a batch of housings, painting a run of brackets — performed on material you still own. Full manufacturing outsourcing hands over an entire production process. Job work is the right fit when you need to add capacity for one operation without restructuring your supply chain.

  • The principal manufacturer (you) retains ownership of the raw material and semi-finished goods throughout. Unity performs the contracted operation and returns the processed output — we never take title to the material.

  • Primarily operations relevant to automotive and electronics manufacturing: drilling, milling, cutting, and painting of components and sub-assemblies, sized to Tier supplier and OEM production volumes.

  • Both. We take project-based job-work engagements for a single production run as well as standing arrangements for clients with recurring monthly or quarterly volumes.

  • Our job-work operations serve clients across the Chakan MIDC, Bhosari MIDC, and Talegaon industrial clusters from our Pimpri-Chinchwad base.

  • Yes — PF, ESIC, and Contract Labour Act registrations for the workforce performing job work under our supervision are handled on our side, so the arrangement doesn't create compliance exposure for your company.
