Tj Steels

Tj Steels is situated at Number 1 on the Trivandrum Main Road. Being right on the main road means we see a lot of traffic passing by every single day. It’s a convenient spot for people who are transporting materials back and forth. We handle a lot of steel products here. The shop is basically a large open space where we keep everything stacked up in piles. It gets quite dusty because of the road, but we try to keep things in some kind of order. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who know where everything is kept. If someone needs a specific length of pipe or a certain type of sheet, we go find it in the stacks. It’s physical work. We spend a lot of time on our feet. Sometimes the sun hits the metal and it gets really warm inside, so we keep the doors wide open for air. Our customers are mostly local contractors or guys doing their own home repairs. They appreciate that they can just pull their trucks right up to the front. We’ve been at this location for a good bit of time now. We don't spend money on fancy signs or advertising. Most people know us just from driving past or hearing about us from a neighbor. It’s a basic operation and that’s how we like to keep things running here on the main road. It keeps us busy every single day.
