Qatar Steel Company, Qatar

We are based out in the Bellary district, specifically in the Sandur area. Our actual location is in Narasapur, Donimalai. If you know this part of Karnataka, you know it’s all about the earth and the minerals. Being part of the steel industry here feels right because of all the history in the ground around us. We operate as part of the Qatar Steel setup, but we’re very much rooted in the local Bellary scene. The office isn't anything special to look at, just a place to keep the records and coordinate with the trucks. It gets quite dusty around here with all the activity, but that’s just part of the environment. We don't spend money on fancy advertisements. We just focus on getting the steel moved and the orders filled correctly. Most of our workers come from the nearby villages and towns. We have a simple routine that starts early in the morning to beat the heat. There’s always a lot of talk about tonnages and schedules. We don't have a mission statement hanging on the wall; we just have a calendar and a to-do list. It’s honest work that requires a lot of attention to detail. We’ve been here for a while and we plan on staying. It’s a practical, no-nonsense kind of place where we just get the job done without any extra drama or polish. It keeps us quite busy most of the year round.
