Matharoo & Matharoo Industries

Our workshop, Matharoo & Matharoo Industries, is situated at 883 Industrial Area A. This part of town is always noisy with the sound of trucks and heavy machinery, and we fit right in. We spend our days surrounded by metal and grease. The building itself is a large industrial shed that has seen a lot of use over the years. We don't have a cleaning crew or a fancy breakroom. We mostly just eat our lunch sitting on whatever crates are available. It’s a very hands-on environment. When you walk in, the first thing you notice is the smell of oil and the sound of the machines running. We’ve had the same equipment for a long time because it still works just fine. The floor is stained and there are metal shavings in the corners. We aren't big on meetings or paperwork. Most of our communication happens by shouting over the noise of the shop floor. Being in Industrial Area A means we are surrounded by other businesses doing similar hard work. We stay pretty busy with the orders that come in. There isn't any polished marketing here, just a group of people who know how to run the machines. We focus on the practical side of things. If something breaks, we fix it ourselves. It’s a simple way to run a business, but it works for us and our families. The tea man comes around twice a day and that is usually the highlight of our afternoon.
