Mr. Chinubhai Shah and Mr. Pravin Mehta, the founders of SBIPL, shared a common and clear vision. Having migrated to Mumbai in the early 1950's they started, what has today become the largest importing house of Boiler Quality Steel Plates in India.

With a firm belief in themselves and their dreams, they quit their jobs, joined hands and ventured into this business together, at a time when most traders were unfamiliar with the existence of Boiler Quality Plates.

It was their vision, hard work, perseverance and unmatched marketing skills that paved the way for the pioneering import of steel from Romania at a time when East European goods were considered taboo.

With an ever increasing inventory covering the range of products and range of thickness, their client base continued to grow. Along with this growth they established strong relationships that were based on trust and a commitment to fulfilling the needs of their clients at all times.

Mr. Sanjiv Mehta is the CEO of the flagship co. SBIPL. With over 25 years of experience, Mr. Sanjiv Mehta has built relationships with leading international producers of steel and all major engineering concerns in India who now treat SBIPL as business partners.

A new generation leader, he plays a pivotal role in framing the vision of SBIPL and is responsible for transforming the company from a local niche player to an international trading organization in the steel industry today.

Mr. Rajesh Shah, Managing Director of SBIPL has been responsible in converting the group vision into reality with supportive actions. He controls and oversees the financial and administrative affairs of the company.

Being in this industry for over 23 years, he has established an extensive network of contacts with banks and other important financial institutions with whose help and support the company has grown from strength to strength.
