Erk Food Industries

We are based out in Unjalur, specifically in Kumarappapuram, Thamaraipalayam. It’s more of a rural setting here, which we like. Being in the food industry, it helps to be close to where things actually grow. Our facility at number 86 is always buzzing with some kind of activity. Whether it's sorting through the latest harvest or getting the packaging machines ready, there’s never a quiet moment. The air around here often smells like whatever we’re processing that day. Sometimes it’s earthy, sometimes it’s a bit more pungent. We have a lot of local workers who have been with us since we opened up. They know the rhythms of the place better than anyone. It’s a lot of manual labor, standing on your feet and moving crates around. The floors are concrete and can get pretty cold in the mornings. We don’t have any fancy marketing teams or anything like that. We just focus on the food. Sometimes the deliveries get delayed because the roads out here aren't the best, especially after a heavy downpour. We just deal with it as it comes. It’s a plain, honest way to make a living. We take pride in the fact that we know exactly where our stuff comes from. It’s not a corporate setup, just a bunch of people working with food every day. We hope to stay here for a long time to come. It’s hard work, but it feels right.
