Taksus Steels Ltd.

Taksus Steels Ltd. is based out of the Grain Market area. It sounds a bit funny being a steel company in a grain market, but that is where we ended up and it works for us. The site is usually busy with heavy trucks and the sound of metal being moved around. We deal with various types of steel products and it’s a lot of physical work. Most of us spend our time checking loads or making sure the paperwork is in order. It’s not a clean office job; there is always a bit of rust or dust on our hands by the end of the shift. We have been here long enough that the other traders in the market know who we are. We don't have a big marketing budget or flashy brochures. We just talk to people face to face and get the deals done. Sometimes the market is slow and we spend a lot of time just waiting, and other times it’s so busy we can barely keep up. We don’t use a lot of fancy words to describe what we do. We just buy and sell steel and try to be fair about it. The building is old and doesn't look like much from the outside, but it serves its purpose. We just show up every day, do the lifting, and go home. It’s a practical business for people who don’t mind getting their hands a bit dirty.
