Ramco Super Leathers Ltd.

Our office is in Sethu House, which is at 28 Dr. Alagappa Road. It’s a solid old building that has been part of the neighborhood for a long time. We work with leather here, which is a bit of a specialized trade. The smell of leather is something you just get used to when you walk into the place. We have different sections for different types of hides and finished products. It’s not a very modern setup, but it’s practical for what we need to do. Dr. Alagappa Road is usually quite busy, so there’s always something happening outside the windows. We spend a lot of time grading the leather and making sure the quality is what the buyers expect. We have a few veterans here who have been working with skins for decades. They can tell the quality just by touch. We don't really have a big fancy showroom. We just show people the stock in the back or in the main room. It’s a lot of heavy lifting and moving rolls of material around. We use big wooden tables for most of the work. Sometimes the humidity makes things a bit tough, but we manage. We aren't looking to become a giant corporation; we just like doing our leather work and keeping the customers we have happy. People know us for being at this address, so we stay put. It is a very hands-on kind of environment.
