Antek Engineering Works

Antek Engineering Works is based out of Jalahalli, over in the HAL 2nd Stage area at number 69 5. It’s an industrial sort of neighborhood, so it fits what we do perfectly. There is always the sound of machines or someone welding nearby. Our shop is pretty much what you’d expect from an engineering place. It’s got heavy benches, metal scraps in the corners, and the smell of oil. We’ve been here long enough that we don't really think about the noise anymore. We handle a lot of different mechanical jobs. Some are small fixes for people in the area and others are a bit more involved. We don't have a fancy website or a marketing person. Most people just know us from being around the 2nd Stage for so long. The floor is concrete and stained, but it works for us. We drink a lot of tea while we figure out how to solve a particular metalwork problem. Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned on the first try, so we just try again until it’s right. That’s just how engineering goes. It’s a lot of hands-on labor. We aren't wearing suits here. Usually, it’s just grease-stained clothes and old boots. It’s a simple way to make a living and we like the practical side of it. It’s hard work but it’s what we do.
