Sathish Engineering Works

Being located in the Sidco Industrial Estate at Thelichathanallur means we are surrounded by the sound of machines all day. Our unit is No.3/51-H, and it’s a place where we actually get our hands dirty. The floors are stained with oil and there’s always a project on the lathe or the welding table. We handle a lot of metalwork and repair jobs that people bring in from other parts of the estate. It’s not the kind of place where you’d wear a suit. We wear overalls and heavy boots. The air usually smells like burnt metal and grease. We’ve been working out of this spot for years, and we know our machines inside out. Some of the equipment is old, but it still runs fine if you treat it right. We don’t have a front desk or a receptionist. If you walk in, you’ll probably find us hunched over a piece of steel or checking a measurement. We take our time to make sure things fit together properly because that’s just how engineering should be. It’s a noisy environment, but we’ve gotten used to it. The estate gets quiet in the evenings after everyone leaves, which is when we often finish up the last bits of welding. It’s practical work for people who need things fixed or fabricated. We just focus on the task at hand and try to stay on schedule.
