Cogwheel Manufacturing

 Written by: Yama Rahi

Some people have learned the skills of making things that are rarely manufacturing in our country.

AEPO’s writer/producer has talked to Ahmad Shah, a resident of Kabul city.

Ahmad Shah talks about his business: “I was working in cogwheel manufacturing company in one of our neighboring countries. There I learned in cogwheel making. When I came back to Afghanistan, I consider that drivers, car owners, and some manufacturing companies need for cogwheels, then I started to manufacture this apparatus inside Afghanistan. Cogwheels are made of aluminum, cast iron, iron, and steel. The manufacturing process is that the materials are melted and then they are placed in special frames with different sizes and after polishing, they are ready to be sent to the market.

The price of cogwheels differs according to the size of them. We get the order and then we manufacture cogwheels in different sizes according to the order. We get a small amount of benefit from our products and we are satisfied with our business.”

Home delivery:

Hafiz Sarwary, a resident of Kabul city delivers home necessary items to the customers’ homes. AEPO’s writer/producer has talked to him about his business. Sarwary talks about his business: “When I considered that many families are in trouble for not having any assistant to bring them home necessary goods, I decided to solve this problem.

I talked to the residents of two districts about the home delivery. The accepted and then I hired about 12 deliverymen for delivering bread, meat, mineral water, dairy, tea, and other materials to my customers’ homes cheaper than the rate of the market. The deliverymen deliver goods on their motorbikes. We present 24 hours of service.

Our deliverymen are working in two shifts; the first shift works during the day and the other shift work during the night. I prepared the goods for my store from the whole sellers. We want to expand our home delivery services to the other parts of the city soon.”
