Padapat Timber Import & Export Private Limited

If you ever find yourself in Saidapet, you might pass by Padapat Timber Import & Export Private Limited. Our address is 4/1, also known as 10/A/1, on New Colony II Street. It is a tight spot but we manage to handle the timber imports and exports from here. Working with wood means there is always dust around and the smell of fresh cut timber. The street is a bit narrow, so getting big trucks in and out takes some skill. We have had to get used to the city sounds of Chennai mixing with our own work. It is a family-style setup, really. We spend the morning checking the logs and the afternoons on the phone or handling the paperwork. Sometimes the rain in Chennai slows things down, especially when we have to move stuff across the yard. We are not doing anything flashy, just the basic work of getting timber from one place to another. The locals know us as the wood guys on New Colony II Street. Most of our days are spent checking measurements and making sure the shipments are right. It is hard work, but it is what we do. The office is small and usually has stacks of papers everywhere. We do not mind the mess as long as the wood keeps moving. It is a practical way to earn a living in Saidapet and we just keep at it every day.
