R. K. Cotton Spinners

R. K. Cotton Spinners is based across Plot No. 92, 93, and 94/2/2 in Phase-1 of the Gidc. Since we are in Phase-1, we have been in this location since the early days of the industrial estate. It is a big space because spinning cotton into yarn takes up a lot of room for the machinery. The air inside the building is always a bit thick with white lint, no matter how often we try to clean the floors, so most of us wear scarves while we are on the floor. It is a very mechanical environment. You can hear the spindles turning from the moment you pull into the parking area out front. We have large metal gates to let the raw cotton bales in and the finished yarn out on the trucks. The building is older than some of the others nearby, with high ceilings and a few cracks in the floor that we have patched over the years. We do not have any use for a fancy office, so we just have a small cabin near the front entrance where we keep the ledgers and the telephone. It gets pretty hot during the summer months, but we have some large ceiling fans that help a little bit with the heat. We are used to the long hours and the repetitive nature of the work. It is not a glamorous job, but we just focus on the machines.
