Akfa Gloves Industries

Working out of Plot No. C1B-11012-2 keeps us pretty busy most of the year. It is an industrial area, so there is always noise and trucks moving around. We spend our days making gloves. It’s not the most exciting work to talk about, but it’s what we do. The floors get dusty and the machines have their moods, sometimes they run great and other days they need a bit of a kick. We have a small group of people here who have been around for a long time. We don't really have a front office with a receptionist or anything like that. If you come by, you’ll probably find one of us with grease on our hands or carrying a stack of materials. We just focus on getting the orders out on time. Sometimes we stay late when a big order comes in, but we try to get home for dinner when we can. The heat gets to us in the summer since the roof is high and it traps the warmth, but we have some fans going to keep the air moving. The industrial park is pretty old, so the roads have a lot of potholes that get filled with water when it rains. We share the space with a few other small shops that make different things, like pipes and plastic parts. We all know each other and sometimes borrow tools or help out when a truck gets stuck. It’s a good community even if it’s a bit rough around the edges.
