A Brief History<br />
All Steels Trading Ltd was incorporated in April 2006 although the two partners in the business jointly share<br />
over 70 years of experience in the steel industry.<br />
From a standing start the business has grown at a breath-taking pace and its customer base now stretches<br />
out to many of Europe’s leading steel distributors.<br />
The business enjoys very close working relationships with mills throughout the world and these supply<br />
partners have been carefully selected in order to provide All Steels Trading with an additional ability to<br />
supply products of a less standardised nature.<br />
In the main the business operates as a virtual steel stockholder with imported material being held at<br />
strategically positioned docks for delivery within 48 hours from the time of order receipt. Most of the<br />
logistics in terms of steel movement from vessel discharge, stock management to customer deliveries is<br />
outsourced to Groveport Logistics Ltd who typically handle well in excess of 200,000 tonnes of steel per<br />
annum.<br />
All Steels Trading’s head office is situated in North Yorkshire, UK and a combination of employees and agents<br />
help to service our widening customer base.<br />
Even though the business is growing at a rapid rate we will always pride ourselves on the quality of<br />
products we supply. Our steel is only sourced from those mills that have the appropriate accreditations<br />
and certification standards and all material is thoroughly inspected at the time each vessel is discharged and<br />
again at the point it makes its final journey to our customers.<br />
All Steels Trading is also totally committed to providing its customers and suppliers with an excellent<br />
service and a friendly working relationship. In February 2009 the company was awarded the prestigious<br />
accreditation of BSI ISO 9001:2008. The directors are very proud of the company’s achievements and we<br />
look forward to new trade partners putting us to the test and the continuation of repeat business with our<br />
regular customers and suppliers.<br />
