Asahitec Stencils Pvt. Ltd.

We’ve been set up in the Double Dragon Industrial Park for some time now. It’s out in the Thiruvallur District, specifically in the Kannur area. We make stencils here at Asahitec Stencils Pvt. Ltd. It’s mostly technical work, making sure the metal pieces are cut right for the production lines. The warehouse gets quite hot in the afternoons but we keep at it. Mostly it's just a bunch of us focusing on the laser machines and checking the edges. People sometimes get lost trying to find Kannur because there are a few places with that name, but we are definitely in the industrial park area. Our day starts early, usually before the sun gets too high. We deal with a lot of frames and thin metal sheets. It is not fancy work, but it’s what we do. The floor is usually covered in some scrap bits by the end of the shift. We try to keep the machines running smooth so there aren't many delays. Sometimes the power fluctuates, which is a pain, but we manage with the backup. Most of the guys here live nearby, so we walk or bike in. It’s a steady routine. We don't have a big reception area or anything, just the workspace and some desks for the paperwork. If you come by, you’ll probably hear the machines humming from the gate. We just focus on getting the orders packed and ready for the trucks that come by in the evening. It's just a normal workplace, really. No big mystery to it.
