BlueScope Distribution National Manager Sales and Pricing, Ken Johnston, emphasises the vital role played by the company’s processing solutions.
“Our innovative processing solutions enable us to cut both steel and aluminium products according to customer specifications,” he says. “Moreover, we also work closely with our customers relating to any customised steel grade requirements and can help with specialised aluminium extrusions where required. Our team is incredibly experienced and focused on ensuring that each customer receives the support that they need.”
Ken says BlueScope Distribution’s teams are skilled in handling and processing steel and aluminium products.
“With our processing capability, our teams can take large steel and aluminium coils and cut these down into custom sides slits or sheet material helping to improve customer yield during their own manufacturing processes,” he says.
