Magna Electro Castings Ltd.

Our place is at 43, Balasundaram Road. It is a fairly large facility and it gets quite hot inside, especially when the furnaces are running. The air usually has that heavy, metallic smell that stays on your clothes even after you go home. We have got heavy machinery all over the floor, and the sound of the metal being worked is pretty loud throughout the day. The building is older, with high ceilings and some soot on the walls, which is pretty typical for a casting plant. We have a break room where the benches are worn down, and that is where we all sit and have our lunch while trying to cool off. The yard outside is usually full of raw materials and finished pieces waiting to be moved out. We have been on Balasundaram Road for a long time, so we are a familiar sight to the people who work nearby. The paperwork happens in a small office block at the front, which is a bit quieter but still dusty. Most of the workers here have been doing this for decades, so they know exactly how the metal should look when it is ready. It is a tough environment, physically demanding and sweaty, but it is what we do. We start early in the morning before the sun gets too high, and we just keep going until the shifts are done. It is hard work but it is honest.
