Aluminium Sales

Down in Mathikere, we run Aluminium Sales. It’s a straightforward setup. We have the stock piled up and we spend our time moving it around or cutting it to size. The floor is usually covered in little silver shavings. It’s just how it is when you work with this stuff. We don't have a big office or anything, just a desk and the materials. People come in from the neighborhood or drive over when they need a specific piece of aluminium for a project at home or a small job. We’ve been in Mathikere long enough that most folks know where to find us. It’s a lot of lifting and loading. Sometimes it gets hot under the roof, but we keep the fans going. It’s not a quiet place. There is always the clinking of metal. We don’t do much advertising. Mostly, it is just people seeing the sign or hearing about us from someone else. We keep the inventory as organized as we can, though it gets messy when a big order comes in. We start early and close up when the sun goes down. It’s a simple life. No big corporate meetings here, just talking to customers and checking the stock levels. We’ve seen other shops come and go, but we just stay focused on what we do. It’s just us here, making sure the metal goes out where it's needed. Mathikere is home for the business. There is always something to move or sort.
