S K Industries

We have been set up here at Plot No. 987-b2 in the GIDC Industrial Estate for quite a few years now. Most mornings start with the sound of the heavy shutters rolling up and the smell of the nearby tea stall brewing. It is usually pretty loud because of all the metal being moved around, but you get used to that after a week. The floor is always a bit greasy no matter how much we sweep it, which I guess is just part of being an industrial shop. We aren't a fancy place with air conditioning or nice chairs, just a lot of workbenches and tools that have seen better days but still do what they are supposed to. Sometimes the trucks get stuck in the narrow lane outside because everyone is trying to load at the same time. We usually just have to wait it out or help them navigate. There are about ten of us working here on a regular shift. We know most of the guys in the neighboring units by name since we see them every day for lunch near the gate. It gets really hot in the afternoons during the summer, so we usually take a longer break then. We just keep our heads down and handle the orders that come in. It isn't a glamorous life, but it keeps us busy and the work is steady. Most of our tools have been here as long as I have.
