A.K.S. Engnieering Co.

Our shop, A.K.S. Engnieering Co., is located at 138 in the Sidco Industrial Estate in Ambattur. Some people still know the address as Old No. 468, but we’ve been here long enough to see the numbers change. It’s an industrial area, so it’s always busy with trucks and people moving things around. We do engineering work, mostly parts and repairs for other businesses nearby. It isn't glamorous work, but it’s necessary. We have our machines set up and we keep them running as much as we can. The air smells like oil and metal, which is how we like it. We started out small and stayed that way because it's easier to manage the quality of what we make. You won't find any corporate offices here, just a small space where we keep our tools and our records. We don't spend money on fancy signs or advertising because word gets around the estate well enough. If someone needs a part fixed or a specific component made, they usually find their way to our door. We’ve had some of the same customers for a decade or more. We just try to be fair and get the jobs done when we say we will. It’s a lot of hard work and long hours, especially when a machine breaks down, but we enjoy the challenge of fixing things and keeping the local industry moving forward.
