Sourcing

We have purchased steel in all the major producing countries around the world.

We have been to the mills in often remote locations.

We have met the management and workers who make the steel.

We have tested the logistics to move the steel to port.

We have sold the steel and received customer feedback.

We know who we can rely on and who we cannot.

We know our steel!

Our vast geographical presence ensures that we can react quickly to the dynamic shifts constantly experienced in the international steel market. We are not tied to a particular market or a particular trade flow. We survive by being quick and flexible and taking advantage of market shifts.
