Sur Iron &Steel Co Pvt Ltd

Our place is over at 8/2 Baroda Bysack Street in the Baranagar area of Kolkata. It’s an old part of the city, and the building reflects that with its thick walls and high ceilings. We handle iron and steel here, so there is always a bit of rust on the floor and the smell of metal in the air. The street outside is narrow, so when a delivery truck comes, everything else has to wait. That’s just the way it goes in Baranagar. We spend a lot of time on the phone or writing out lists of what needs to be moved. The fans overhead are usually spinning fast to fight the humidity, but it’s still pretty warm most days. We have a small staff who have been with us for a long time, so everyone knows their job. There’s a tea shop on the corner that brings us refreshments every couple of hours. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just rely on the fact that we’ve been at this address for a long time. The paperwork is kept in large metal cabinets that have seen better days. It's not a flashy operation, but we manage to get the iron out to whoever needs it. At the end of the day, we pull down the shutters and the street goes quiet. It’s a steady life in a busy part of town.
