Mariyam Industries (Akn Exports)

Mariyam Industries is located on Gandhi Road in Shencottah. We also go by Akn Exports. Our office is at No. 40, right in the heart of this part of Tirunelveli. Being in Tamil Nadu, we deal with a lot of local goods that we prepare for sending out elsewhere. Shencottah is a beautiful area, but we spend most of our time inside the warehouse or the office. It’s a lot of checking quality and making sure the packaging is right. We have a small team here who have been with us for years. We don't really do the corporate thing with meetings and presentations. Instead, we just talk to our suppliers and customers directly. Sometimes the weather in Tirunelveli gets very hot, which makes physical work a bit tougher, but we manage. We handle a variety of items depending on what is in demand. Our address on Gandhi Road is easy for the trucks to find. It’s a straightforward operation. We don't have a big marketing budget or a fancy logo. We just rely on doing the work properly so people keep coming back. It’s a local business through and through. We take pride in being from this region and contributing to the local economy in our own small way. Every day is a bit different here. Sometimes the shipments arrive late at night and we have to stay to unload them under the streetlights.
