A.M Food Products

Our place is at No. 77 and 78 on Arcot Road in Sathuvachari. It’s a busy stretch of road, and there’s always dust kicking up from the vehicles passing by. A.M Food Products occupies these two units, and we’re constantly moving back and forth between them. One side is more for the actual production and the other is where we keep the finished goods and do the bookkeeping. It’s hot in Sathuvachari, especially in the afternoons, so we keep the fans running at full speed all day. The floors are concrete and they get stained with all sorts of things, but we try to keep it as clean as we can. We have a small crew of locals who come in early to start the batches. There’s no dress code here; everyone just wears what’s practical for moving heavy bags of ingredients. We don't have a website or a big marketing team. Most people find us because they see our sign on Arcot Road or they’ve heard about us from someone else in town. The noise of the traffic is something you just get used to after a week. Sometimes we sit outside on the steps during our break and watch the buses go by. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from dawn till dusk. We don't have any grand plans to change things; we just want to keep the machines running and the orders moving out to the shops.
