What is a Steel Structure Manufacturer?
A steel structure manufacturer is a company that specializes in the design, fabrication, and erection of structural steel components. It is usually completed with the professional team of a steel structure design institute for the relevant design. They transform raw steel (often in the form of plates, sections, and coils) into precise, engineered components that are shipped to a construction site and assembled into a final structure. Their work is fundamental to modern construction, providing the skeleton for a vast range of buildings and infrastructure.
