Akal Spring Limited

We’re over at A 8, Phase 5, in Focal Point. Akal Spring Limited is basically what the name says—we deal with springs and related metal parts for various uses. The facility is fairly large because the machines we use for coiling and tempering take up a lot of room. It can get quite hot near the furnaces, so we drink a lot of water and take breaks when needed. The floor is always covered in a bit of oil, which is just part of the manufacturing process. We’ve been operating out of this Phase 5 location for years now. It’s a gritty environment, but we like it that way. There’s a certain rhythm to the sound of the metal being shaped and the clank of the cutters. We don't really do much in terms of advertising; most people just know we’re here in the industrial sector. Our team is a mix of older experienced hands and some younger guys learning the trade from the bottom up. We don't have fancy meetings in boardrooms. We just talk over the noise or during lunch about what needs to get done before the day ends. Dealing with springs is tricky work sometimes because the tension has to be just right for them to work. We just keep testing them until they're okay. It’s not a perfect science every time, but we’ve got the hang of it now. It’s just what we do every day at Akal Spring Limited.
