Allied Bearing Company

Nagdevi Street is always crowded, and we’re right in the middle of it at Abid Manzil Compound. If you’ve ever been to Paydhoni, you know how tight these lanes are. Allied Bearing Company has been operating out of 139/A for quite some time now. We mostly deal with ball bearings and roller bearings for various machines. It’s a bit of a maze getting back to our spot, but people find us when they need a specific size that’s hard to get elsewhere. We don’t have a big sales team or a showroom. It is mostly just us handling the crates and checking the numbers against the catalogs. Most of our day is spent answering the phone and writing out slips. The air in the compound is thick with the smell of grease and old metal, which is just how a bearing shop should be, I guess. We stock a lot of different brands because every mechanic has their own preference. Some guys want the expensive ones, others just need something cheap to get a pump running again. We don’t judge, we just give them what’s on the shelf. It gets loud in the afternoons with the carts moving up and down the street. We try to keep things simple and just focus on the orders we have. It's a small place but we keep a lot of stock packed into the racks. There's not much room to move, but it works for us.
