– 11 GOLD KEYS –
Steel Dynamics Wins Gold Key Award for Array of Finished Steel Products for Rural Projects
The Steel Dynamics Flat Roll Group recently accepted its 11th Rural Builder Gold Key Award, which honors excellence in product quality, variety, and customer service. Brian Smallwood, the SDI Market Manager of Construction, said, “The Gold Key Award is highly coveted by our team because it means that across America’s construction markets, customers know we are committed to the success of their projects.”
Steel Dynamics offers a complete inventory of finished steel products, making it a convenient one-stop source for the construction market. In addition to producing galvanized and Galfan® steel products, Steel Dynamics is known as the nation’s largest supplier of GALVALUME® steel sheet, which is the product of choice for roofs, siding, and other high-exposure construction projects.
Strong, beautiful, and rust-resistant, GALVALUME® steel sheet is up to four times more corrosion-resistant than galvanized steel, which is better suited for livestock applications. GALVALUME® steel sheet also boasts self-healing properties that deter red rust along cut or exposed edges. When considering its affordable price and lifespan of up to 50-plus years—without corroding—it’s easy to see why rural builders prefer GALVALUME® steel sheet.
The Steel Dynamics Flat Roll Group has the capacity to produce 1,000,000 tons of engineered, painted steel and currently operates six state-of-the-art metallic coating lines. The newest facility in Sinton, Texas, offers a variety of coatings, including an acrylic overcoat, for steel sheets up to 84 inches wide.
High demand for Steel Dynamics steel by builders in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, has led the company to expand over the years. Steel Dynamics is now operating mills and finishing facilities in strategic locations throughout the US, from the east coast and mid-America, to the south and the west. This enables customers to get the products they need quickly and cost-effectively.
Answering market demand while exceeding customer expectations for painted steel products has been The Flat Roll Group’s primary pursuit for over two decades. Smallwood maintains that winning the Gold Key Award again makes his team proud and more driven than ever to continue serving markets well. “We are grateful to our customers for trusting us, and we have exciting product developments planned that will bring even more value to them,” said Smallwood.
