Arun Steel Industries

If you come down Street Number 15 in Dashmesh Nagar, you’ll hear us before you see us. Steel work is noisy business. We are at number 2487. The shop is filled with the smell of cut metal and welding smoke. I’ve got a few guys working with me, and we spend our days bending pipes and welding frames. It’s heavy work, and our hands are usually covered in grease or soot by lunchtime. We don't have a showroom or a glossy catalog. Most of our orders are just people coming in with a sketch or an idea of what they need for their house or shop. We do a lot of gates and window grills. Sometimes we get a bigger job that takes up all the floor space, and we have to step over things just to move around. The machines we use are old but they still work fine if you know how to handle them. Dashmesh Nagar is a busy industrial kind of area, so we fit right in with the rest of the shops. It gets very hot in the summer with the torches going, so we drink a lot of tea and try to stay in the shade when we can. We aren't trying to be the biggest factory in the city. We just want to finish the work on time so we can go home. It’s a tough trade, but it's what we know.
