Over at VKIA Road No 17, at H/1332 H, you’ll find A K Industries. This part of the industrial area is always full of the sound of machines and the smell of metal. We have a decent-sized shed where most of the work happens. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, as there’s always a bit of grease or metal shavings on the floor, but it’s a working shop. We spend our hours at the benches or near the machines, making sure everything is running the way it’s supposed to. Some of the guys have been working here at H/1332 H for a long time, so we all know the rhythm of the place. It gets quite hot in the summer under the tin roof, but we have a couple of big fans that help a little bit. We don’t spend much time on the phone or computer unless we absolutely have to. Most of our day is hands-on. We don't have a marketing person or someone to write fancy brochures for us. If people need what we make, they usually just show up or give us a call because they know where we are. We just keep our heads down and focus on the production. By the time we lock up the gates on Road No 17 in the evening, we’re usually pretty tired, but the work is steady and that is what matters to us.
