Structural steel distributors act as the link between the producer and the fabricator. Distributors obtain steel from steel mills from around Australia and supply it to fabricators for major construction projects like high-rise buildings, stadiums, warehouses, bridges and shopping centres.
Steel distributors understand the industry from a holistic perspective. This has vast benefits whether it leads to running your business or working in different areas across the steel supply chain, from marketing and finance, through to management or HR.
