R. K. Metels

We are based out of G-281 in the Riico Industrial Area. If you come by, you’ll probably hear us before you see us because working with metals isn't exactly a quiet business. There is always the sound of things clanking or machines running in the background. The workshop is a big open space with a concrete floor that has seen a lot of wear over the years. We keep our tools on the wall and try to keep the scrap metal in piles so we don't trip over it, though that doesn't always work out perfectly. It gets quite hot in here, especially during the summer months when the sun hits the roof, so we keep the big doors open to catch whatever breeze we can get. We aren't a big corporation with people in suits; we are just a bunch of people who know how to handle metal and get things fabricated or moved. Most of us wear old clothes that we don't mind getting dirty. We take our work seriously but we don't act like it's more than it is. It's about getting the orders filled and making sure the metal is handled right. We've been in this part of the Riico area for a while and we know the neighbors well. It’s a tough environment but we like the honesty of the work we do here every day.
