Lachhman Singh Metal Industries

Lachhman Singh Metal Industries has been based at Plot No. 70 in Sector 24 for a good while now. It’s an industrial area, so there is always a lot of noise from the neighboring units and trucks moving in and out all day long. We work with metal, mostly shaping and cutting things to size for various uses. The floor is usually covered in scrap and shavings, but we try to clear it out every weekend. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we know how to do and it pays the bills. My father started this place, and I’ve been here since I was a kid learning the ropes. The machines we use are old-fashioned and heavy, but they are reliable as long as you oil them regularly and treat them well. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. Most people find us because they heard about our work from someone else in the sector. It gets quite loud inside when everything is running at once, so we mostly communicate with hand signals during the day. We take our lunch breaks together under the shade outside when the weather is nice. Sector 24 is a practical place to be for a business like ours. We don't worry about having a shiny storefront or a clean floor. We just focus on the metal and making sure the measurements are right before anything leaves the gate. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just sit and talk.
