Universal Tube Co

We are situated right on Dockward Road, near the W Shahibaug Road area in Ahmedabad. It’s an old part of town and the streets can be quite narrow, but it’s where we’ve always been. Universal Tube Co deals with exactly what the name suggests—tubes of all shapes and sizes. We have racks and racks of them stacked up against the walls. Some are heavy steel, others are different alloys, depending on what the customers are asking for that week. The floor is concrete and usually has a bit of oil on it from the cutting saws. Ahmedabad gets really hot in the summer, and the warehouse can feel like an oven, but we just keep the fans going and get on with the work. We don't have a website that we update or a social media page to show off. Most of our business comes from people who have been buying from us for decades. They know where we are on Dockward Road and they know what we stock in the back. We do a lot of the cutting to size right here on the spot. It’s noisy and there are sparks flying sometimes, but it’s honest labor. We don't try to be something we aren't. We just provide the tubes people need for their construction or repair jobs. Sometimes we sit out front in the evening when the sun finally goes down just to catch a breeze and talk about the day.
