Our place is located in the Wazirpur Industrial Area at A 84/3. This whole area is full of factories and warehouses, so it’s always busy with trucks moving in and out. We have been operating from this unit for a long time. The building is made of brick and it’s seen better days, but it serves its purpose well. We deal with manufacturing and supply work. Inside, it’s mostly workspace with machines and storage racks. We don’t have a decorated office or anything like that. We spend our time on the floor making sure things are being made correctly. It is a loud environment and the air is often thick with the smell of metal and grease. We know most of the other people working on this street. We help each other out when someone needs a tool or a bit of advice. Our day starts early before the sun gets too hot. By the afternoon, the heat inside the unit can be quite a lot. We don't do any big advertising. People in the industrial circle just know we are here and what we do. It’s a simple operation and we keep our records in thick ledger books. We don’t worry about being polished or looking corporate. We just want to get the orders finished and sent out on time. It is tough but satisfying work for us.
