A MAJOR SUPPLIER FOR STEELWORKS AND FOUNDRIES
We are one of the main suppliers of industrial steel for numerous steelworks and foundries. Each day, we buy large volumes of different types of steel from industrial customers, private individuals, traders and other suppliers. This industrial steel is then professionally processed in order to create clearly defined, quality-assured categories of material. The products generated from the processed steel are divided up into standard grades and delivered to our customers as and when they need them.
COMPREHENSIVE NETWORK OF WAREHOUSING AND PROCESSING FACILITIES
Thanks to our comprehensive network of warehousing and processing facilities, we do not need to travel long distances to collect and process the material. Our well-thought-out logistics systems guarantee that your products are available where and when you need them. And nowhere is too far away. We use all modes of transport available whether it be by road, rail or ship.
CENTRAL TRANSHIPMENT POINTS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADING ACTIVITIES
We have the access to export terminals, in ports across Europe and Asia, for transhipment facilities for its international iron & steel trade. Here, the various types of ferrous metals are packed and are shipped all around the world. The actual trading and marketing of the material destined for domestic as well as international markets is carried out by our subsidiaries.
ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE THANKS TO MARKET AND TRADE ANALYSES
Our trade analysis bureau keeps a constant eye on the latest developments in both the national as well as international markets.
