BRANDS

Our brands have long been market leaders in Australia and New Zealand and have a growing presence in Asia.

In Australia, our COLORBOND® steel is a leading consumer brand and has strong acceptance in the building industry. There have been several recent COLORBOND® steel innovations including, in May 2003, the launch of a new range of fashion colours.

ZINCALUME® metallic coated steel, GALVABOND® and GALVASPAN® steel are prominent brands in the building and construction industry, and our LYSAGHT® building products have a solid reputation stretching back to 1918.

In 2003, we branded our plate and hot rolled coil products over 3.2 mm thick as the premium XLER® steel range, including XLERPLATE® and XLERCOIL®.

In New Zealand, COLORSTEEL®, GALVASTEEL™ and ZINCALUME® steel are market leading brands.

In other domestic markets, we have developed local brands suited to local conditions, such as Clean COLORBOND® steel, which is ideal for the tropical conditions of Asia. In Indonesia we market PELANGI™, ABADI™, GEMILANG™ and ANCOR™ steel. TRUZINC™ steel was developed for Thailand and PRIMADESA™ steel for Malaysia. Across South East Asia, our most recent "inspired" solutions include SMARTRUSS™, a lightweight roof frame for pre-engineered buildings, and our SANTAI™ roll-formed product.

The growing number of branded innovations in our product lines reflects our focus on meeting customers’ needs with trusted steel inspired solutions.
