R.K. Engineering Industries

R.K. Engineering Industries is situated at 168 in the Industrial Estate in Nunhai. If you know the area, you know it is mostly the sound of machines and the smell of oil all day long. Our workshop is just one of many, but we have been doing this for a long time. We have got a few old lathes and some newer machinery that we use to fix parts or make things from scratch. It is a greasy job and our hands are rarely clean, but that is the life of an engineer in an estate like this. We don't have a front office to speak of, just a small corner with a wooden table where we keep the blueprints and the bill books. When the machines are all running at once, you have to shout just to be heard over the noise. We have a couple of guys who have been with us for years and they know the equipment better than anyone. We usually start quite early before it gets too hot, and we take our tea breaks sitting on the benches outside. Customers bring us parts that are broken or ask us to manufacture something specific, and we just do our best to get it done right. It is not a glamorous life, but there is a lot of satisfaction in seeing a machine part fit perfectly after you have worked on it.
