Schaefco International

Our office is tucked away in the Fort Municipal Market area, specifically at 283 on the 3rd floor of the Afhshar Building. Being near Lalit Restaurant is a bit of a landmark for us because everyone knows where that is. Schaefco International has been operating from this part of town for years, and if you know Fort, you know how cramped and busy these old buildings can get. There are always people moving up and down the stairs and the market downstairs is a constant hum of activity. We deal with a lot of international bits and pieces, so there is always some mail coming in or documents being sent out to far-off places. The office isn't very big and we have files stacked up in the corners because space is tight in 211/219. We spend our days on the phone or typing away at the computers, trying to keep track of everything that is happening across different time zones. It can be a bit stressful when a shipment is delayed or a document goes missing, but we usually find a way to fix it. We aren't those corporate types who wear ties every day, we just dress comfortably and get on with the work. The building is old and the lift is sometimes a bit moody, so we often end up taking the stairs. It is just a regular workplace in one of the oldest parts of the city where we try to do a good job day in and day out.
