Wear Cote Technologies

Wear Cote Technologies is tucked away at No. 90 in the Sidco Industrial Estate in Kakalur. It’s a bit of a drive to get out here, but we’ve grown used to the commute over the years. The Sidco Industrial Estate is huge, and sometimes people get lost trying to find our specific unit among all the others. We spend our days dealing with industrial coatings. It’s a messy job that requires a lot of patience. You have to get the surfaces just right before you can even start. The air inside the shop usually smells a bit like chemicals and metal, which isn't for everyone, but we don't mind it much anymore. We have a small break area with a table that wobbles, where we sit and eat our tiffins at noon. Most of our equipment is older, but it still runs fine if you know how to handle it. We don't have a big marketing team or anyone like that. It’s just us doing the work and answering the phone when it rings. The walls are covered in old calendars and notes we’ve scribbled to ourselves so we don't forget an order. Kakalur can get really dusty when the wind picks up, so we spend a lot of time sweeping the floor. It feels like honest work, even if it isn't very glamorous to look at from the outside.
