About Vulcan

Since Vulcan's doors first opened in 1995, Vulcan Steel has been on a mission to shake up the steel and metal industry. Our goal? To be the go-to metals distributor for customers across Australia and New Zealand, offering the best service and top-notch products.

Vulcan has broadened its product offerings to include a diverse range of steel and metal products, from carbon steel to stainless steel, and everything in between, such as plate processing, coil processing, engineering steels, and aluminium. Our unwavering commitment to reliable service has driven our growth both organically and through the acquisition of well-established businesses. With over 70 branches throughout Australia and New Zealand and 1400+ employees across six business divisions, we are a leading force in the industry. Our extensive product range is used in every aspect of the economy, from the tiniest components in high-tech applications to large infrastructure and building projects.

Customer satisfaction is at the forefront of our priorities, and this is reflected in our consistently high Delivery in Full on Time (DIFOT) score in the high 90s. Our inventory levels are meticulously managed to ensure our customers always have access to the products they need. Our employees are empowered to make quick decisions in response to customer needs, and our transportation fleet, and quality products with traceability are just a few reasons why our customers trust us.

We have a unique non-hierarchical, single-status culture where everyone is encouraged and empowered to make their own decisions. This is a rare point of difference within our industry and a cultural foundation we're proud to maintain as we continue to grow. This flat structure keeps our business agile, efficient and extremely responsive and promotes a culture where all employees feel trusted, valued and fulfilled.

In 2022, Vulcan Steel took its place on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX).
