In the competitive B2B market, the pressure to find the lowest price is intense. However, in the steel industry, a lower price tag can sometimes lead to higher costs down the line—through material failure, incorrect specifications, or delayed deliveries.
At Arham Steel Industries, our philosophy is simple: “Quality products at economical prices”12.
The “Hidden” Costs of Poor Quality
Buying steel without a verified Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) 13 can lead to:
- Inconsistent Thickness: A coil labeled 4.0mm that actually measures 3.8mm can compromise structural integrity.
- Surface Defects: Poor quality PPGI or GI coatings can lead to premature rusting.
- Rework: Materials that don’t meet tolerance specs (like width or length) often need to be scrapped or re-machined.
How We Bridge the Gap
We operate as both manufacturers and traders14141414. This dual role allows us to:
- Control Quality: We oversee the processing of materials (like slitting and shearing) in-house.
- Cut Middlemen: By dealing directly with the manufacturer, you get better rates without sacrificing the material grade.
- Verify Specs: We supply products with accurate thickness ranges, whether it’s a $0.26 \text{ mm}$ PPGI sheet 15or a heavy $4.0 \text{ mm}$ HRC coil16.
Smart procurement isn’t just about the price per ton; it’s about the value per project.
