Shalom Eng Works

Our shop is over in the industrial estate on Madukkarai Road. It’s tucked away in Ravinaicker Thottam, No. 17/34 E. We do a lot of metal work and engineering jobs. It’s noisy and a bit greasy most days, but that's the nature of the work we do. We've got the lathes and welding machines running from morning till evening. It’s mostly small parts for other businesses or repair jobs that come our way. The heat in the shed gets pretty intense during the summer months, but we just keep the fans going and keep working. We started Shalom Eng Works because we knew how to fix things that others couldn't bother with. It's not a clean office job, that's for sure. My hands are usually covered in oil by noon. We’ve been at this spot for several years now. Most of the neighbors are also in manufacturing, so we all know each other well and help out sometimes. Sometimes a regular customer drops by for a quick fix on a Friday afternoon. We just handle whatever comes through the door. It’s steady work and keeps us fed. Nothing too complicated, just honest labor in the industrial estate. We take pride in just getting the job done right so the machines keep running. It’s been a good journey so far at this location. We stay busy and that is what matters to us and the people who rely on our workshop.
