Apten Forgings Division Of L G Balakrishnan & Brothers Ltd

Apten Forgings Division Of L G Balakrishnan & Brothers Ltd operates out of 4-A, Bommansandra Ind. Area. We also have a presence at Ho-308, Roheja Kormangala, and our roots are in Anekal Taluk. The main work happens at the Bommansandra site. Forging is a tough job that involves a lot of heat and heavy pressure. The machines we use are huge and they make the ground vibrate when they are running. It gets quite warm on the floor, especially during the summer months. You can see the sparks and the glowing metal from a distance. Our address at 4-A is easy to find in the industrial area because of the constant activity. Over at the Koramangala office, things are a bit quieter, mostly handling the administration and the paperwork side of things. It is a different world compared to the forge. We have been part of the L G Balakrishnan & Brothers group for a while, so there is a lot of history in how we do things. The workers here are skilled and they have been doing this for years. We do not have any slick marketing displays. We just have heavy parts stacked on pallets and the smell of hot steel in the air. Anekal Taluk is where many of our staff come from, and it feels like a very local, hardworking community.
