Jajoo Steel

Jajoo Steel is located in Sion, at 28/277. If you know the East side of Sion, you know it’s a lot of industrial activity and noise. We deal with steel all day long. It’s heavy and cold and leaves your hands looking gray by the time lunch rolls around. The yard is usually full of piles of metal beams and sheets. We have to be careful where we walk so we don't trip. It’s definitely not a place for nice clothes. Most of us wear heavy boots and old shirts that can get dirty. We spend the day loading trucks and cutting pieces to the right size for customers. The sound of metal hitting metal is something you get used to after about a week. It’s a very practical business. We don't have a fancy website or a glossy brochure to show people. If someone needs steel, they just come here and we see what we have in stock. The office is just a small room with a desk that’s usually covered in invoices and scraps of paper. It gets a bit cramped when more than two people are inside at the same time. We like being in Sion because it’s easy for the trucks to get to the main roads. The weather can make things tough sometimes. When it rains, we have to cover everything up quickly to keep it dry. When it’s sunny, the steel gets too hot to touch without thick gloves. It’s hard work, but it’s what we know.
