This two-volume study focuses on steel producer value creation strategies geared towards the vitally important automotive and construction industries. It describes the opportunities and potential constraints for steel companies to create additional value by taking advantage of the ‘downstream space’ between the rolling mills on one hand, to the automotive and construction assembly lines on the other. Within this ‘space’ are value-adding activities such as distribution and stock-holding, further processing of steel itself and the additional services related to the design and effective use of the product.

Part 1: Automotive Steel

Key automotive products covered include: high-strength steels (HSS), coated steels, tailor-welded blanks, tailored strip and tailor-rolled blanks, hydroforming and hot-forming.

Part 2: Construction Steel

Key construction products/services covered include: commodity rebars, hot rolled structural steels, galvanised/colour-coated roofing and cladding panels, sandwich panels, light-weight cold formed sections, hollow sections; steel erectors, reinforcement fabricators; building element systems (floor/roofing systems, cladding systems); pre-engineered and pre-fabricated buildings.
