G K Textile Industri

Down on Mandia Road at F 81, that’s where you’ll find G K Textile Industri. It’s a workspace filled with the rhythm of machines and the smell of different fabrics. Some days it’s cotton, other days it’s something heavier. We have rolls of cloth stacked up in the corners and bits of thread all over the floor no matter how much we sweep. It’s a productive kind of mess. The workers here talk over the noise of the equipment, and there’s always a radio playing somewhere in the background, though you can barely hear the music. It’s hot in the afternoons, especially when the machines have been running for hours. We keep the windows open, but that just lets in the dust from Mandia Road. It’s a trade-off. We’ve been at F 81 for a good while, and the neighborhood has changed around us, but we stay pretty much the same. There is a small desk near the front where we handle the invoices and talk to the delivery guys. It’s not a showroom; it’s a factory through and through. We don’t have a marketing team or anything like that. We just focus on the textiles and hope the machines don't break down on a busy Friday. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do here every single day. The building is a bit worn out, but it serves its purpose for G K Textile Industri.
