Metal Cutting And Forming Industry

If you head down to the Sidco Industrial Estate in Pattaravakkam, you will find us at Shed No. 296. It’s on 2nd Street in the North Phase. It is a loud place, honestly. Between the cutting machines and the sound of metal hitting metal, you have to raise your voice to be heard sometimes. Our operation here in Ambattur has been going on for quite some time. The floor is always covered in some kind of metal shavings and there is a smell of oil in the air. That is just how a machine shop is. We do metal cutting and forming and it is hard work. Hands are usually dirty by nine in the morning around here. Having some old machines and some newer ones means they all have their quirks. You learn which one needs a little tap to get it started. It is not the kind of place where you wear a nice shirt. When orders come in, we cut the pieces to size. Some days the heat in the shed gets pretty bad, especially in the afternoon, but we have a couple of fans that help a bit. People in the estate know us as just the guys who do the work. No receptionist or waiting room is needed here. You just walk into the shed and find someone. It is a very basic way of working but it gets the job done.
