The Case for Using Australian Fabricated Steel

Fabricated or structural steel is produced in scores of industrialized nations all over planet earth. That makes it part of a global industry … and that means it is a very important product.

The governments of many countries actually subsidize their steel fabricating companies in the hopes that it will give those companies a competitive edge when they seek business contracts abroad. And, of course, that is what generally happens … they enjoy a competitive edge. In fact, subsidized companies are able to “undersell” competitors who don’t receive financial help from their governments.

On the surface, that appears to be a serious problem for steel fabricating companies in Australia … because they receive no government subsidies. And yet … Australian steel fabricating companies not only compete with foreign companies, they often outperform them in the global marketplace.

But, it’s important that Australian steel fabricating companies do well in their native land, as well … throughout Australia, especially in Western Australia where the local economy requires that the steel fabricating industry be strong and vibrant.

There are many reasons for contractors and developers to use Australian fabricated steel, some of which are probably obvious. To begin:

• The Use of Australian Fabricated Steel Helps the Local Economy. When building contractors buy steel from local companies, the money spent stays in the local area. In the case of Western Australia, this is a huge benefit … one that stimulates the economy, keeps people working and spending money on consumer purchases. And that spending helps other local businesses.
• The Use of Australian Fabricated Steel is a cost-effective way to do business. It lowers freight costs … helps purchasers to maintain necessary supplies – without difficulty … leads to consistent on-time deliveries … and enables face-to-face contact between fabricator and detailer.
• The Use of Australian Fabricated Steel leads to significant savings for contractors and building developers because they can keep lower or smaller inventories throughout the life of an individual project because … it’s quick and easy to re-order and re-stock, when needed.
• The Use of Australian Fabricated Steel enables quick and easy transportation – on local roads, railroads or by waterways. Foreign companies selling fabricated steel in Australia simply don’t enjoy that advantage.
• The Use of Australian Fabricated Steel pumps cold, hard cash into the local economy, so important throughout Western Australia … and keeps lots of people working, too.

Clearly, there are many advantages to using Australian steel in Western Australia, all of which are beneficial to buyer, seller and producer.
