Micro Instruments Limited

Micro Instruments Limited is based over at Periyanaickenpalayam. We are right on the Railway Station Road, so you can hear the trains passing by all through the day and night. It’s a familiar sound for us now, and most days we don't even notice the vibrations anymore. Our building is at number 169. It’s a bit of an old-school place with thick walls and simple windows. We work on precision instruments, which sounds very high-tech, but the reality is just a bunch of us sitting under bright lights with magnifying glasses and small tools. It’s quiet work for the most part, except for when someone is testing a component and something beeps. We’ve been in this part of Coimbatore for years. The neighborhood has changed a lot, but the station road is still as busy as ever with people rushing to catch the passenger trains. We have a small team, and most of us have been together since the start. There isn't much hierarchy here; the person fixing a machine might be the same one making the tea in the afternoon when we all take a break. We focus on getting the measurements right because that’s what the job is. If a piece is off by even a tiny fraction, it’s no good, so we spend a lot of time double-checking everything. It’s not a glamorous life by any means, but it’s steady, and we like being part of the local industrial scene here.
