Samrat Plywood Limited

You can find us over in Porur, specifically in the Madanandapuram area at Plot No 9. It’s part of the Annai Velan Kanni Nagar annex. We have been here for a while now, dealing with all kinds of plywood and wood products. The place always smells like sawdust, which I guess you get used to after a few days. We have big stacks of sheets everywhere, and it can be a bit of a maze if you don't know your way around the warehouse. Chennai is hot, and the humidity doesn't always play nice with the wood, so we have to be careful with how we store things. We are a small team and we usually have our hands dirty from moving stock around. There’s no fancy air conditioning in the main area, just big fans that move the dust around. We talk to a lot of local carpenters and contractors who come in looking for specific grades of ply. Sometimes we are short-staffed and everyone has to jump in to load a truck. It’s hard work, and our backs usually ache by the time we close up for the evening. We don't have a polished showroom or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where we get the job done. We’ve been in this spot for years and the locals know us as the place to get wood.
