Royal Impex

Royal Impex is up on the second floor of Ceramic Plaza-1, in shop number S-12. It’s a bit of a climb if the lift is acting up, which happens sometimes. We mostly deal with ceramics and tiles, so our space is filled with samples of all different colors and textures. It’s actually quite heavy work, even though it’s an office and showroom. Moving tile boards around all day keeps you fit, that's for sure. We spend a lot of time looking at patterns and talking to manufacturers about their latest batches. The plaza is usually buzzing with other businesses, so there’s always someone popping in to ask a question or grab a sample. We aren't a giant corporation, just a small team trying to keep the imports and exports moving smoothly. Sometimes shipments get delayed at the port and we have to spend the whole day on the phone trying to track things down. It’s just the nature of the business. We keep a kettle in the corner for tea and the desks are usually covered in catalogs and invoices. It’s not the fanciest office you’ll ever see, but it works for us. We’ve been in Ceramic Plaza for a while now, and most of the other shop owners are friends. It’s a good community to be a part of while we do our daily work. We try to keep our inventory updated, but sometimes the boxes just pile up in the corners when we are busy.
