A.S. Industries

You can find A.S. Industries over at 1/536-A8, Gali No. 4 in the Friends Colony Industrial Area. It’s tucked away in one of those narrow streets where you have to be careful when you’re driving a delivery van in. The area is full of small shops and factories like ours, so there is always some kind of construction or loading going on outside. Inside our space, it’s mostly about the machines. We’ve got a couple of older ones that need a bit of a kick to start sometimes, but they still run fine once they get going. We spend most of our hours here surrounded by metal scraps and the smell of industrial oil. It’s not the cleanest environment, but that is the reality of manufacturing things. Our workers are mostly local people who have been doing this for years. We don't have a big front desk or anyone in a suit to greet you; usually, someone just looks up from what they are doing and asks what you need. We take things one day at a time, trying to get the orders filled without too many mistakes. Sometimes we run late because a machine breaks down or the power goes out, which happens more than we’d like. But we just get back to it when things are fixed. It’s a simple life here in Friends Colony, just making parts and keeping the business moving along.
