Akshay Steel Center

Akshay Steel Center is right here in Pimpri. Steel is heavy, cold, and hard to move, but it’s what we do every day. The yard is full of different lengths and types of metal. It’s not a pretty place to look at, but it’s functional for what we need. We spend a lot of time loading and unloading trucks. Pimpri is a good place for a steel business because there is always some construction going on nearby. I started this because I knew a bit about metal and didn't want to work in an office. I like the smell of the yard and the sound of the crane. It’s honest work. We don't have a big marketing budget or a team of sales people. Mostly, people just know we are here in Pimpri and they come when they need steel for a project. We have to be careful with the measurements because if you cut it wrong, it’s wasted. It takes a lot of focus even when it’s loud and busy. My boots are worn out from walking on the hard ground all day. We don’t have a lot of rules here, just show up and do your job. Sometimes it rains and everything gets muddy, which makes the work twice as hard. But we don’t complain much. We just wait for it to dry and keep moving. It’s just us and the steel, day in and day out. That's Akshay Steel Center for you.
