Shyam Metals

Down at Plot No. 112 in Sector-24, things at Shyam Metals are pretty straightforward. We are in an industrial area, so the surroundings are mostly other plots with sheds and heavy machinery. Our yard is often full of scrap and metal pieces waiting to be sorted or sent out. It’s a bit of a dusty place, especially when the wind picks up, but that’s the nature of working with metals in an open sector. We don't spend much time in the small office we have; most of the real work happens outside where the loading and unloading takes place. We have a small crew of guys who have been doing this for years. They know how to handle the heavy stuff without needing to be told every little thing. The days can be long, starting when the gates open early in the morning and not really ending until the last truck is gone. We don't have a fancy website or a marketing person telling us what to say. We just handle the metal that comes through our gate and try to keep our accounts in order. It’s a practical way to make a living. You won't find any slogans or mission statements pinned to our walls, just a calendar and maybe some notes about upcoming deliveries. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but it’s our business and we’ve been running it this way for a long time now.
