BlueScope Distribution Makes Metal Sourcing Easier

The recent creation of a dedicated BlueScope Distribution business has simplified metals sourcing for companies involved in Australia's construction industry.

BlueScope Distribution brings together the resources and expertise of the former Metals and Regional Distribution arm of Smorgon Steel.

It provides a national network of more than 50 processing and distribution sites to meet the metals needs of construction industry participants and suppliers.

The product range and processing expertise on which the industry has relied is backed by the technical expertise and reputation of BlueScope Steel, to ensure the highest levels of service and support.

BlueScope Distribution's product range includes steel plate, sheet and coil, reinforcing fabric, bar and building products, merchant bar, structural steel, tubular, engineering steel and aluminium products.

BlueScope Distribution offers quality processing services which range from simple length based cutting of bar and tube products to complex multiple precision processing on world standard CNC controlled Beamline and Plateline installations.

The business has been established to provide customers with metal in the form they need, helping to reduce their costs, lead times and waste.

"Construction industry customers now have access to a broad range of high quality competitively priced products and service solutions through a large combined distribution network," said Peter Zafiris, Manager Marketing Strategy, BlueScope Distribution.

"This will be of increasing benefit to companies such as Multiplex and others involved in projects such as the Parramatta Justice Precinct."

BlueScope Steel is the world's leading supplier of high quality metallic coated and painted steel products for the building and construction sector.

It also specialises in the production of flat steel products, including slab, hot rolled coil, cold rolled coil and plate.

Through its ecommerce network, BlueScope Steel provides customers with the ability to directly place and monitor orders.
