Apma Leathers

Down at 54 Sreepuram in Nagelkeni, Chrompet, is where you will find Apma Leathers. This part of Chrompet is known for this kind of work, so we fit right in with the rest of the neighborhood. The facility is simple. We have the main work area and a small corner for the office work. It’s a lot of manual labor and the heat can be something else during the peak of summer. We use a lot of fans to keep the air moving, but it’s still a tough environment. There are piles of leather in different stages of being finished. We don't have a showroom or a glossy catalog to show people. Usually, if someone wants to see what we are doing, they just come to the workshop and look at the actual pieces. The street outside is often crowded with delivery vans and motorcycles. We’ve been at this address for a long time and the building has seen better days, but it works for us. The people working here are mostly locals who walk or bike in. We don't go for anything fancy or corporate. It’s just about getting the pieces done and making sure they are ready for whoever needs them. We start early and try to get the heaviest work done before the afternoon heat becomes too much to handle. That’s just the way we operate here in Nagelkeni every day.
