The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and LineBuilders Inc. have announced a partnership to provide a new information and communication system for steel makers and suppliers. The online service, at www.SteelPlantEquipment.com (formerly www.linebuilders.com), is a facility-organised equipment directory and specification repository that spans all steel-making operations. The comprehensive information system breaks each facility down into its equipment components and services, such that the needs of every tier of the supply chain can be met. SteelPlantEquipment.com also provides a communication system that allows users to easily send sales-call or bid requests to multiple suppliers, and then track responses.
The site uses intuitive point-and-click navigation and is designed to give equipment suppliers an easy way to post and update contact information, brochures and specifications, ensuring that the latest information is always available. SteelPlantEquipment.com is free for users and there is no charge for suppliers to list their equipment on the site.
