Akru Brick Works

We have been operating out of Plot No. 19/50 in Jayapuram for quite a few years now. Tindivanam is a busy area, but our little corner of Villupuram district stays focused on the work at hand. Akru Brick Works isn't a big, fancy company. We are just a local team that knows how to handle clay and fire. The days are long and usually start before the sun gets too hot. There is a lot of dust and heavy lifting, but that is part of the job. Most of the people working here live nearby, so we all know each other well. When someone needs bricks for a new house or a wall, they usually just drive down to the plot and talk to us directly. We don't have a secretary or a formal front desk. You will usually find us near the kilns or checking the drying stacks. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, especially when the monsoon rains hit and we have to cover everything up quickly. We just try to keep things moving as best as we can. It is straightforward work without any shortcuts. We spend most of our time making sure the batches are coming out right and loading up the trucks that come through Jayapuram. It is a simple business, and we like it that way. We just focus on the daily tasks and getting the orders ready for the builders around the district.
