Trends In Metal Profiling
Few things in life, metal profiling included, don’t see trends arise, even if those trends aren’t in terms of the various profiles available or techniques used to create steel profile sections. While some past trends have been fads that did not make much of an impact, a few current trends can be to your advantage.
Choosing The Complete Package
One of the trends we’ve spotted is that more consumers are turning to one-stop-shops for their steel profiling needs. Given tighter consumer spending, soaring interest rates, and ongoing supply chain disruptions, this isn’t surprising. Value-add services are an important part of the one-stop-shop approach, with cutting/sawing to size and profiling being the most popular of these services.
Steel Plate and Sections has the capability to provide complete packages for our customers’ metal requirements, including profiles and structural elements. Our 25-metre-long large profiling bed enables us to provide a niche offering in addition to our standard professional steel profile section products and services. Furthermore, our stockholding has evolved to provide the most popular value-add services, which our skilled, experienced staff execute to the highest standards.
Green Steel: One Delivery
Responsible for approximately 9% of global carbon dioxide emissions, steel production releases more emissions than any other industry. However, the “green steel” trend could lead to significant change. “Green steel” plants are set to begin production in 2025, and if the industry can meet 2050 emission targets, emissions should drop by 50%. While it’s good news that “green steel” investment with a focus on decarbonising production is growing in Europe and elsewhere, the trend spreads beyond production processes.
At Steel Plate and Sections, we believe in creating greener pathways for customers. This lets you pick up on the green steel profiling trend and reduce your carbon footprint by choosing to receive your order in one delivery.
Ongoing Investment And Progress
The steel industry has come a long way over the last 4,000 years, and it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the industry and technology have grown hand-in-hand. While many important developments happened over millennia, the industry arguably has many of its most significant developments over the last 100 years. This would not be possible without the ongoing trend of continued investment in innovation.
This trend isn’t limited to within the industry, as it ultimately affects consumers. Steel Plate and Sections continually looks at opportunities for further investment and progress to deliver more steel profiling and related services for our customers.
