Sukrut Udyog

Our workshop is tucked away in Erandwane at 9/1A. It’s a quiet enough street, though it gets a bit busy during the morning rush. We’ve been operating out of this same building for years. Inside, it’s mostly machines and the sound of work being done. We make things, though the specifics change depending on what's needed at the time. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else's name. We don't have a receptionist at the front; you just walk in and find someone at a workbench. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but they’ve looked this way for a decade and it doesn't bother us. We focus more on the quality of what we produce rather than how the office looks. Sometimes the work is repetitive, but we take a certain pride in getting it done right. We’ve seen Erandwane grow and change quite a bit since we first opened our doors. There are more shops and cafes around now, but we just stick to our routine in the shop. We don't have a mission statement hanging on the wall; we just have a schedule of what needs to be finished by Friday. It’s a straightforward way to run a business, and it works for us. We're just local people doing our jobs every day. Usually, we're cleaning up the metal shavings and shutting off the lights by six. It’s a simple life but it suits us just fine. We just keep working.
