Stainless steel from the mills of China, Vietnam and Thailand, delivered to your port.
TOOB Global finds the right mill for your grade, size and price — and stays with every lot from contract to arrival. For kitchenware, utensil, pipe and fabrication units in India and Bangladesh.
Why buyers work with us
Importing stainless from Asia is easy when it goes right and expensive when it doesn't. Our job is to make it go right.
One person who knows the trade
Santosh Aggarwal has worked in stainless steel since 1989. You deal with him directly — no call centre, no chain of middlemen.
Mills matched to your grade
We know which mills in China, Vietnam and Thailand make which grades and sizes well, so your inquiry goes to the right three or four — not to everyone.
Documents right the first time
Sales contract, mill test certificates, Certificate of Origin (Form AI for the India–ASEAN duty benefit) and BIS where required — checked before shipment, not after.
Follow-up until the cargo lands
We track loading, B/L, sailing and arrival for every lot, and keep advance and balance payments matched to what was actually shipped.
On the ground with our mills
We visit the mills we work with — the floor, the lines and the people behind every coil.
Visit to YongJin, Thailand — 5 November 2026
The drive in to the YongJin plant, and lunch with their team after a two-hour meeting on grades, sizes and the season ahead. Short clips, straight from the phone.
About Santosh Aggarwal
Santosh started in the stainless steel trade in January 1989 and has spent his working life in it. He knows the material, the mills, and the small details that decide whether a shipment goes right: the right grade for the job, a realistic tolerance, and documents that clear customs without delay.
In 2011 he began working directly with China — sourcing stainless circles, and once even a complete cold-rolling coil mill. Since 2018 he has run the family indenting business that is today TOOB Global, bringing coils, strips, sheets and circles from mills in China, Vietnam and Thailand to manufacturers in India and Bangladesh.
His path has not been a straight line. There have been pauses along the way, and each time he has come back with fresh ideas and more energy than before — which is, in its own way, what “think out of the box” means to him. Like kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, the cracks have become part of the strength.
What he is proudest of is simple: being honest and transparent with buyers and mills alike.
He works in English, Hindi and Bengali. Outside steel, he practises Vipassana meditation, writes Hindi and Urdu poetry and sings — more on the Beyond steel page.
