Apex Steels

If you head down to Vartej Industrial Estate, you will find us at Plot No. 64 90. It is a big area and we have quite a bit of steel stacked up around the place. Vartej is a rugged spot, and the roads can be a bit bumpy with all the heavy trucks. We spend a lot of our time moving steel pipes and sheets from one pile to another. It’s loud and dirty work, and there is no way to keep your clothes clean for more than ten minutes. We have a couple of saws that run almost constantly, cutting lengths of metal for various orders. The sun hits the metal roofs in the estate and makes everything hot, so we usually have a few big fans going to keep the air moving. We aren't much for small talk; we just get the orders and start loading the trucks. Most of the people who work here have been doing this since they were young. We know the weight of a beam just by looking at it. There isn't a fancy showroom or a lobby. If you come by, you’ll probably find us out in the yard or in the small shack we use as an office. We keep track of everything in big ledgers and on some chalkboards. It is a basic way to run a business, but it works for us. We stay busy enough and don't worry about much else.
