Our history
We’re proud that our customers choose our steel to create incredible things – from the homes we live in, to the schools that educate our future leaders.
With a team of over 16,500 people at 160+ sites worldwide, our passion lies in harnessing the strength and versatility of steel – one of the world’s most useful, durable and recycled materials.
In 2004 we launched TRUECORE® steel, an innovative light gauge steel framing product that has reframed the way Australians build their homes.
