ON March 12, 2012, the day that Asia Galvanizing opened its steel gates for business, one might have thought that the K-wave had hit the westernmost part of Singapore.
Business literally rolled in from day one, so much so that it resulted in a traffic snarl in a usually quiet industrial area in Tuas. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) was called, while the company's founders - brothers Albert and James Ang - had to double as traffic wardens as there was so much "fanfare" that day, they recall.
"It was like the grand opening of a restaurant. We actually had to restrict people from entering," says the older brother, Mr Albert Ang, 48. "The yard was full of steel, and only one to two trucks can come in at a time so there was naturally a queue, and the traffic police were called."
