Fresh tea leaves are picked, withered, rolled, oxidized and dried to develop their flavour and aroma. Decorative roof finials are shaped and finished to withstand the weather; fabric petals and leaves are cut, coloured and assembled into artificial flowers; and molten alloy is cast, machined and coated to produce lightweight vehicle wheels.

Gel Caps, Playground Spring Riders, Frozen Pancakes, Natural Rubber

Gelatin is prepared and formed into matching capsule halves before the finished gel caps are inspected and packaged. Moulded figures are mounted on heavy coil springs to create playground riders; batter is portioned, cooked, cooled and frozen into ready-to-heat pancakes; and latex collected from rubber trees is coagulated, rolled and dried into natural rubber.
