Our
story begins with a simple bucket.
Way back in 1938, brass buckets were
used to store and carry water in households across the
country. These were terribly heavy and needed to be
scrubbed vigorously on a daily basis to prevent tarnish
and toxic deposits.
When the first steel buckets appeared
in the market, they became instant objects of desire
– they were sturdy yet lightweight and required no maintenance.
Not only did they look better and shinier but one could
also use them safely to serve water and food from. Using
steel buckets was considered somewhat of a luxury as
they were far more expensive than the ordinary brass
ones as the manufacture of steel at that time was an
expensive process.
Then came along the Tulsyan Group of
companies who started importing machinery that made
it possible to manufacture steel buckets in large quantities.
This made them more affordable and accessible to households
across India . They came up with two brands - Eagle
for the Rural Markets and TU for the Urban ones. Soon
steel buckets became more of a necessity than a luxury.
We are pleased to think that we played
a significant role in making this happen.
In 1991, the Tulsyan Group acquired
Vijayaa Steels and since then, there has been no looking
back.
