Ess Kay Group (A Unit Of Esskay Lathe & Machine Tools)

Our place is right on Byepass Dhir Road, which stays busy from morning until late at night with trucks passing by. It’s number 29/ 23, and if you’ve been down this way, you’ve probably seen the signs for the Ess Kay Group. We handle lathes and machine tools here, which is a unit of our main setup. It’s a lot of heavy lifting and precision work that keeps the hands dirty. The building has seen better days, the paint is peeling in some spots, but the machines inside work just fine. We have a small crew and most of us have been together for years, so we don't need to say much to get through a shift. You’ll usually hear the hum of the lathes and the occasional clank of metal hitting the floor. We don't have a big fancy office with air conditioning; we just have a desk in the corner with stacks of invoices and old manuals. Sometimes the dust from the road gets inside, so we’re always wiping things down. It’s a straightforward setup. We take the orders, set up the tools, and get to it. Lunch is usually eaten quickly so we can get back to the floor. It’s honest work, and we’ve gotten used to the noise of the bypass. We’ve seen the road get wider over the years, but inside the shop, things stay pretty much the same for us.
