Yesterday’s Vision, Today’s Success, Tomorrow’s Promise
The year 1958 marked the beginning of a transformation in the Indian steel industry, with the founding of Shah Brothers. It was the passion, zeal and the vision of its founders that has brought the group a long way from being a broking firm and staying in step with the market trade activities, to being the largest importers and distributors of Boiler Quality Steel Plates in India today.
SHAH BROTHERS ISPAT PVT. LTD. (SBIPL) made its mark in the industry by pioneering the import of Boiler Quality Steel plates into India and marketing imports from uncharted regions such as Romania, Ukraine, Russia & China.
The group truly believes in the ideology that coming together is a beginning, working together is progress and forging ahead together is success.
We take pride in having established, nurtured and cemented relationships with International world leaders such as Arcelor Mittal/ Romania, Duferco S.A./ Switzerland (Alchevsk/ Ukraine, Clabecq/ Belgium, Huta/ Poland) and Wuyang Iron & Steel Co./ China as well as domestic producers as JSPL, ESSAR, SAIL.
Exceeding expectations and creating new benchmarks with every achievement, SBIPL maintains its presence and standing in the industry with a sense of pride.
With its headquarters strategically located in Mumbai, the gateway of Indian trade & commerce, this dynamic group continues to ensure the smooth flow of inbound cargo to the satisfaction of its national & international clients efficiently.
Customized Solutions
In lieu of month-on-month bulk ordering with mills, we are able to accept orders for tailor made size & specifications even if minimum order quantity of mill is not fulfilled by the enquiry.
Boiler Quality Plate Profiles
M/s. Peacefort Chem-Ind., our associates, are the largest Boiler Quality Plate Profile manufacturers in the country. In addition, they have access to our large inventory at all times. This ensures immediate availability of cut to size profiles to all customers who prefer to buy exactly as per their shape and needs.
Long Term Contracts
Volatility has become synonymous with steel over the past few years. For customers who require our products month-on-month, we are able to offer quarterly contracts at fixed price with off the shelf availability. This smoothens their consumption planning and provides fixed costing to their marketing team.
Quality Assurance
SBIPL was the first and still probably the only steel trading firm to be accredited ISO Certification by Lloyd Register Quality Assurance. Direct sourcing from manufacturers, in-house surface and ultrasonic inspection, supplementary testing by accredited laboratories under 3rd party, and meticulous records for traceability up to 5 years of supply are some of the practices to ensure quality. This ensures 100% reliability and peace of mind towards quality of all products handled and delivered by us.
Indenting Services
Having been historically the largest importer of our products in the country and having pioneered these products from more than 11 relationships enjoyed with mills is special. For customers with large requirements or with duty benefits, indenting service supported by financing options can be offered.
Logistic Solutions
With branch offices and godowns spread across the country and a track record of consistent procurement from every mill in the country, we have developed a network of certified logistic partners to ensure fastest and most competitive movement of raw material to any destination within the country.
Service Centre
The company has extended financial support to a standalone service centre in Taloja, which provides decoiling of Hot Rolled Coils for thicknesses ranging from 2mm to 25mm and width of 1 mtr. to 2.5 mtrs. Similarly Cold Rolled Coils of thicknesses ranging from 0.2mm to 1.2mm and width up to 1650 mtrs. can be decoiled and even slit and offered. The above ensures cost savings as cargo does not have to be shipped to destinations for the above services.
The Founders & Pioneers
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 distribution company 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 a range of products and a range of thicknesses, 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.
Pioneering Change, Facilitating Growth
SBIPL provides the largest off take of B.Q. Plates month on month to JSPL, SAIL, & ESSAR STEEL. Off the shelf availability of thicknesses is 6mm up to 150mm, ensuring the capability to cater to any and every need. To fulfill “just in time” delivery of customers spread across the nation, stockyards, and offices have been established in Ahmedabad / Bangalore / Chennai / Delhi / Hyderabad. Being the first and only steel trading company in India to operate a sanctioned private custom bonded warehouse, our customers enjoy the benefit of duty-free purchases in INR as well as USD, be it for local consumption or export.
At SBIPL, we believe that the consumer should hold the lowest possible inventory, since it reduces inventory cost & saves on handling. We have translated this belief into practice and firmly promote the “ Just-in-time delivery concept ”.
Inventory management with SAP (again a first for any private sector steel trading company) provides online reporting and capability to rationalize stocks. Pan India marketing teams have instant access to updated stock position instantly on any purchase or sale transaction. Meeting the diversified demands of a widespread clientele is central to our vision and mission.
