Nava Hosiery Mills

We are located at 1284/24 G, right in Gali No. 6 of Guru Nanak Dev Nagar. This is a very tight-knit area where almost every house has some kind of small workshop or business going on. Our mill is basically a large room filled with hosiery machines that run for most of the day. The sound is quite loud, so you have to speak up to be heard over the clicking and whirring. Gali No. 6 is narrow, so if a big truck comes in to deliver yarn, the whole street has to wait. We’ve had our share of problems with the machines breaking down or the heat making it hard to work in the summer. But we just fix things and keep going. Most of the people working here are from the neighborhood, so we all know each other’s families. We don’t have a proper office or a showroom; we just have the machines and the space to pack the finished goods into plastic bags. Sometimes the floor is covered in lint and dust, but we try to sweep it out every evening before we head home. It’s a local business through and through, born out of the need to earn a living in this part of town. We don’t make anything fancy, just standard hosiery that people need. It’s steady work and it keeps us busy throughout the year, which is all we really ask for.
