Eriez Magnetics India Pvt. Ltd.

We've been at 1/1 Ambattur Vanagaram Main Road for a long time now. If you know the Athipet area, you know how busy it gets with all the trucks and workshops around here. Eriez Magnetics India is basically a place where we deal with big industrial magnets and metal detectors. It's not a fancy office job. Most days involve looking at technical specs for separators that go into mines or food factories. The equipment is heavy and it takes up a lot of space on the shop floor. People usually find us because they need to get bits of iron out of their production lines. We just focus on getting the machinery right. The weather in Chennai doesn't help much, it’s usually roasting inside the shed, but we have a rhythm going. Some of the guys have been here since the start. We drink tea from the stall down the road and handle the orders as they come in. It’s a lot of metal and magnetic fields. Sometimes things get delayed with shipping, or a custom build takes longer than we thought, but that’s just how it goes in manufacturing. We don't do much fancy advertising. Most of the business comes from people who already know what these magnets do. It’s steady work and we keep the doors open from Monday to Saturday, trying to stay on top of the pile and get everything shipped out to customers eventually.
