Leder Tech

Down here in Nalmuri Bhangar No. 1, things move at their own pace. We are located in District 24 Parganas South, which is a bit of a trek for some people but we like it here. Leder Tech is just a small setup. We work with leather materials and some technical bits that go along with it. It’s not always clean work. There is a lot of cutting and stitching involved. Sometimes the machines act up and we have to spend the whole morning fixing a belt or oiling the gears. We get orders from local people mostly. The weather out here affects the work too. When it rains heavy, the dampness makes the leather hard to handle and it takes longer to dry. We have a few guys who have been with us for years. They know the smell of the hide and the sound of the needles better than anything else. We don't do much advertising. People just know where the workshop is. We handle different types of skins and make sure the finishing is okay before it goes out. It's a lot of manual labor and sitting on stools for hours. We drink a lot of tea to keep going through the day. It is just a regular workplace trying to get the orders done on time. Not much more to say about it really. We just keep our heads down and do what needs to be done.
