Jimco Gear Industries

Our workshop is located on Chhapar Road in Ahmedgarh, and we are quite easy to find because we are so close to Anand Isher School. During the day, we can hear the teachers talking and the kids shouting during their breaks, which makes the day go by a bit faster. Jimco Gear Industries is not a large factory by any means. We have a few gear-cutting machines that have been with us since the beginning. The shop floor is always cluttered with metal shavings that crunch under your boots when you walk around. We mostly work on small orders for local farmers or small shops in the Sangrur area. It is a lot of measuring and double-checking because a gear that doesn’t fit is just a heavy piece of scrap. We don't have any air conditioning, so we leave the big front doors wide open to catch whatever breeze comes off the road. Sometimes the dust from the passing tractors gets on everything, but we just wipe it off and keep going. We usually have a pot of tea going in the corner, and neighbors often stop by just to chat for a minute while we work. It is a slow-paced kind of place, and we like it that way. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just rely on people knowing where we are on Chhapar Road. It is honest work and it keeps us busy enough.
