Vadavathoor Steel And Cements

You can find us at the Kannaankara Building in Vazhoor, right across from the Milma milk factory. It’s a handy landmark because everyone in Kottayam district knows where the milk plant is. Our daily life is pretty much dictated by the weather here. When it rains, which it does a lot, we have to be really quick about moving the cement so it doesn't get ruined. The steel is a bit more forgiving, but it’s still heavy work. We’ve got a good view of the trucks going into Milma while we’re loading up our own customers. It’s a steady rhythm of life in this part of Vadavathoor. People stop in for a few bags of cement for their home repairs or several lengths of steel for a new foundation. We’ve grown accustomed to the smell of the dairy nearby and the sound of the main road. The building we’re in is sturdy and does the job. We don't go in for anything fancy. Most of our time is spent talking to the local builders who’ve been buying from us for years. They know we’re here, and we know what they usually need. It feels like a small community even though we’re dealing with heavy industrial materials. Sometimes we share a coffee and talk about the local news while waiting for a delivery. It’s just how things are done here in Vazhoor. We focus on our daily tasks and try to stay ahead of the orders coming in from the district. Handling these materials in the Kerala rain is just our normal routine.
