A. Transmo Stampings

Operating out of Plot No. 220 in the Gidc Estate, A. Transmo Stampings is mostly about the sound of heavy machinery. It’s loud in the workshop when the presses are running, and everyone has to shout to be heard over the metal hitting metal. We deal with stampings, which means a lot of repetitive work making sure the dies are lined up and the metal sheets are fed in correctly. The floor is usually a bit oily and there are scrap bits of metal in bins everywhere. It’s an industrial area, so there’s always trucks coming and going, delivering raw materials or picking up finished batches. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who know how to work the equipment and keep things moving. Sometimes a machine breaks down and we spend the whole afternoon with wrenches trying to get it back up and running. It isn't a clean job, our clothes usually have grease stains by lunchtime, but the work is steady. We handle the orders as they come in from other businesses around the estate or further out. There’s no showroom or anything like that here. Just the workspace, the storage racks, and the loading area out front. We keep track of everything in a ledger on the small desk near the entrance. It's a basic setup but it works for what we need to do.
