Hiemens Bottling Machines

Our shop is down at Plot No. 45 in the New Dlf Industrial Area. It’s a busy part of town and there’s always a lot of noise coming from the neighbors. We work on bottling machines all day. It’s mostly metal, grease, and trying to get the timing right on the conveyors. Some of the guys have been here for years and they can tell if a machine is running wrong just by the sound it makes. We don't have a big fancy showroom. If you come by, you’re going to see parts laid out on workbenches and probably someone with a wrench in their hand. It gets hot in the afternoons under the tin roof but we keep the fans going. We focus on getting the machines out the door so they actually work when they get to the customer. There is always a lot of heavy lifting. We use the forklift a lot to move the bigger crates around. Sometimes the coffee runs out and that’s a bad day for everyone. We’re not corporate types in suits. We wear work shirts that usually have a few stains on them. The industrial area is crowded and parking is a nightmare but we’ve been at this spot for a while now. We just keep our heads down and finish the orders. It isn't glamorous but it’s what we do for a living. It keeps us busy.
