Madurai Arkay Rock Produce (P) Ltd.

If you take Sholavandan Road and look for number 4/48, you’ll find where we operate. Madurai Arkay Rock Produce (P) Ltd. is out where there’s plenty of room for handling large amounts of rock and stone. It’s a rugged kind of workplace. We spend a lot of time outside or in the open sheds, dealing with the raw materials that come in. The ground is always uneven and covered in gravel, so you have to watch your step. The noise of the machinery is something you just get used to after the first week of working here. We don't have a fancy reception area; usually, you’ll find one of us near the gate or by the scales where the trucks get weighed. It’s a lot of physical work, and the sun can be pretty unforgiving on this side of town, but we have some shade under the corrugated roofs. We handle the rocks as they come, sorting them and getting them ready for whatever project they are destined for next. Most of the people who work here live nearby, so it’s a familiar crowd every morning when we start up the engines. We don't spend much time on the computer unless it’s for the basic billing. Mostly, it’s about the weight of the stone and making sure the trucks are loaded correctly. It’s a simple, tough business, but there’s a certain satisfaction in seeing the piles move and the orders being filled.
