Lancet Glass And Metals Industries

Down at 878 in the Sidco Industrial Park in Angamali, the rain can be quite heavy, hitting the metal roof with a loud drumbeat. Lancet Glass And Metals Industries is located right in the middle of all that industrial activity. The floor is usually covered with fine dust from the metalwork and the occasional shard of glass that needs to be swept up. We have big sheets of material leaning against the walls, and you have to be careful where you walk. It’s a large space, but it fills up quickly when we have a lot of orders coming in. The air smells like oil and cold steel. We don't have a fancy office with leather chairs; we just have a small desk in the corner where the ledger stays. Most of the time, we are on our feet, moving between the cutting machines and the loading area. The trucks come in and out of the park all day, and we spend a lot of time loading them up. It’s hard work and it gets humid, but we’ve been doing this for a long time now. We don't have any polished speeches about what we do. We just take the raw material and turn it into what it needs to be. When the whistle blows at the end of the day, we're tired but ready to do it again tomorrow. It’s just how things work in this part of the park.
