Often looking for the right metalwork materials and the best metal rod suppliers can take even longer than the development of the metalwork project itself.

Getting the right tools and materials for any kind of metalwork you prepare to do is not always easy and can be very stressful. This is also depended on country you live in or even the region in that country. Some places have poor connections with metal rod suppliers and people are forced to look for metal materials elsewhere than their local supply store.

India and China: fast growing economies and industries

The metallurgic industry is an ever-growing field and the exploitation of minerals is reaching new heights every day, especially with fast growing economies and industries such as India and China, who have high demands for metals as a raw material for making their products. It is no wonder that some of the largest metal rod suppliers come from these new emerging economies and no matter if you need large quantities of metal materials for building construction or car making or you are simply an enthusiast who just likes to do his own metalwork, there are plenty of places where you can buy your needed materials from.

ArcelorMittal and Atlas Steels

Many of these companies have mines and steelworks in countries other than their native, so it is easy for them to deliver their products anywhere in the world. At the same time, these manufacturers are also the largest metal rods suppliers in the world. Such companies include ArcelorMittal, which was created by overtake of the Indian Mittal Steel over the European company Arcelor, which at the time was the largest trader of metals on global scale. So this conglomerate is now without a doubt the number one metal material trade company, primarily of steel products. They are present in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America. So if you are looking for steel rods for your project or business, this is the first place to start.

On the other continents, such as Australia there are also companies that have the capacity for supplying large quantities of metals. Atlas Steels for example, delivers stainless steel and aluminium raw materials in any shape: sheets and plates, rods, bars, tubes and angles.

Johnson Matthey: Deliver precious metal material

The British company Johnson Matthey for example, provides catalysts and catalytic converters for the automobile industry, but they have a division for refining and distribution of precious metals such as palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, gold and silver. In fact, Johnson Matthey is the world’s largest producer and distributor of platinum and platinum made products.
