Eastman Cast & Forge Ltd

Being out on G.T. Road near the airport, you get used to the noise of the planes and the constant stream of trucks. Eastman Cast & Forge Ltd has been operating here for quite a while now. The air around here always smells a bit like metal and machinery, which is just part of the job. Our shop floor is usually pretty busy with the forging work, and it’s definitely not a place where you’d want to wear a clean white shirt. We deal with heavy stuff every day, so the floors are worn and the walls have some soot on them. It’s an honest way to make a living, even if it’s loud and hot most of the time. We see a lot of drivers coming through for pickups, and we try to get them back on the road as fast as possible because G.T. Road isn't a place you want to be stuck in for long. The staff here mostly grew up nearby, so everyone knows each other’s families. We don’t have a big marketing department or anyone to write fancy brochures. We just show up, do the casting, and head home when the sun goes down. It’s physical work that requires a bit of patience. The rain sometimes floods the yard, but we just throw some boards down and keep walking through the mud. It is just the way we have always done things around this part of town without complaining much about the weather or the grit.
