Steel trading operates from a centralised warehouse in Al Quoz.

Since it's inception in Dubai in 1981, Steel Trading LLC has grown to become one of the leading oilfield, marine and industrial suppliers in the Gulf region.

The company's strength is in its ability to supply a comprehensive range of pipes, fittings, flanges, valves, stud bolts, gaskets and many other industrial consumables.

These are available in a full range of material grades and pressure ratings and can be supplied as complete packages for various projects.

Steel Trading operates out of a custom-designed centralised warehouse in the Al Quoz industrial area of Dubai and has a staff of more than 30, serving the requirements of the local market and the company's export markets throughout the Middle East, Asia and Africa. It also has a branch office in Doha, with a staff of 10 serving the burgeoning requirements of the Qatar market.

Steel Trading prides itself on its ability to provide high quality products and services to the most stringent and demanding specifications, and the company maintains close relationships with the major approved manufacturers around the world.

The result, it says, is that the products supplied to its customers are of the highest quality and always accompanied by full material traceability and certification.

To complement its extensive inventory on hand, the company has a highly skilled procurement team which is well experienced in sourcing and supplying special and non-standard items such as large dimension pipes, fittings, flanges, valves, stud bolts and gaskets as well as special grade materials such as 4130, X-52, X-60, X-65, duplex and so forth.

The firm also supplies structural steel at competitive prices. As the demand for ABS-certified structural steel has grown, Steel Trading claims to have become an expert in ABS procedures and can arrange ABS testing and certification promptly and professionally.

ABS certification is increasingly required for insurance purposes for critical drilling rig applications. Steel Trading is one of the few suppliers in Dubai currently offering these services.

In order to combat the severe environmental conditions on shore and offshore in the Gulf region, Steel Trading offers a number of different protective coating for material supplied including blasting and epoxy coatings, galvanising, cadmium plating and fluorocarbon (PTFE) coating, etc as per the customer's requirements.

Steel Trading has been supplying to end users in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries for many years and has been working together with manufacturers and stockists in Europe, the US and Japan, specialising in project supply and emergency shutdown requirements.

Similarly, Steel Trading's long experience of supply to the multinational drilling companies has given its staff experience and in-depth technical knowledge of the products used.

To augment its materials supply services, Steel Trading is an authorised stockist for both Anson Flowline Products from the UK and the complete ranges of Dewalt and Black and Decker high-performance industrial tools and accessories.
