Essar Steel

We are based out of Surat in Gujarat, specifically at the I 3, 63 location. The postcode is 394270, which is right in an area where there is a lot of industrial activity. We don't do much besides work with steel all day long. The yard is usually full of inventory and it can be a bit of a maze if you don't know your way around. We aren't interested in making things look pretty for a catalog. The steel is what it is—strong and heavy. We spend most of our time loading and unloading trucks. The sun gets really hot in the afternoons here, so we try to get the heavy lifting done early if we can. It’s a small operation and we like it that way. We know all our customers by name and they know we don't mess around. If we say we have it, we have it. We don't use any fancy software to track things, just a big notebook and some good memories. Sometimes the gates get stuck or a tire goes flat on the forklift, but we fix it and keep moving. That is just how life is for us here in Surat. We do the work and we just get it done. It’s a lot of sweat and heavy lifting but it feels good at the end of the day. We usually close the gates when it gets too dark to see the labels properly.
