Hussaini Fasteners Industries

We are located in Ranigunj on Lala Temple Street. The shop is number two on the ground floor. It is a narrow street and always crowded with carts and bikes. Hussaini Fasteners Industries deals with bolts, nuts, and all kinds of small metal parts. You can smell the oil and the metal when you walk in. We have shelves all the way to the top and we use a ladder to get things down. It’s dark inside even during the day because the buildings are so close together. We use old yellow bulbs. There are three of us here usually. We spend a lot of time counting pieces and putting them in bags. It gets very loud outside with the horns and the shouting. We don't have an air conditioner, just the ceiling fan that wobbles. Most of our customers are mechanics or builders from around the city. They know we have the specific sizes they need. We don't bother with fancy packaging. Everything is sold in bulk or by weight. We’ve been in this spot for years and haven't changed much. The ledger is kept by hand on the desk. It’s just an old-fashioned way of doing business in a busy market. We have piles of catalogs that are very old, but the sizes of the bolts never really change. It is dusty and cluttered, but we know where everything is kept.
