COMPANY PROFILE

We are the largest steel company in Australia and New Zealand, the only producer of flat steel in these countries and a significant niche player in the Asian steel industry. We produce about 60 per cent of Australia's overall steel production, and supply around 80 per cent of all flat steel products sold in Australia and New Zealand. With our growing presence in Asia and investments in the USA, we are playing an increasing role in the revitalisation of the global steel industry.

We are customer-focused and market driven. The customers we serve are primarily in the building and construction, packaging, pipe and tube, automotive and general manufacturing industries. Our focus is on supplying their needs for value-added metallic coated, painted and roll-formed steel products, and other flat steel products like slab, hot rolled coil and plate.

Our key strengths include our leading brands, low-cost operations, ability to tailor solutions to customers' needs and our product and market diversification.
