Brite Steels

Our yard is at A-87/5 in the W.I.A. section. If you’ve been around the industrial area, you probably know the spot. We deal with all sorts of steel products, from rods to sheets and whatever else people are looking for for their building projects. It’s heavy work, and the place is always full of stacks of metal. We have a small crane and some cutting machines to get things to the right size. It isn't a clean job—there’s always rust on your hands and steel dust on the floor. We don’t spend much time on the computer unless we are checking an invoice. Most of our time is spent out in the yard moving things around and loading up trucks. We don't have a marketing department or anything like that. People just know we have the steel they need, and they come by to pick it up or ask us to deliver it. The weather can be a bit of a pain since the yard is mostly open, but we work through it whether it’s hot or raining. It’s a basic business. We buy the steel, we store it, and we sell it to people who are building things. We’ve been doing this at the same address for years, and we’ve seen the area change quite a bit, but we just keep doing our thing and moving the metal.
