I Know Steel
About I Know Steel
Independent steel cost-saving consultants — built by industry insiders who know exactly where manufacturers and fabricators overpay.
Built From the Inside Out
I Know Steel was founded by steel industry professionals with over 13 years of hands-on experience across steel distribution, procurement, and supply chain management in Australia. We've worked inside the industry — we know how distributors price, where margins are hidden, and which suppliers consistently deliver on quality and lead time.
That inside knowledge is what we bring to every client engagement. We're not a distributor, a broker, or tied to any supplier. We're independent consultants who sit on your side of the table — with one objective: to make sure you're getting the best possible outcome on every steel requirement.
Our clients are manufacturers and fabricators who want to reduce steel costs, improve supply reliability, and stop wasting time chasing quotes from suppliers who aren't the right fit. We handle the market knowledge, the supplier relationships, and the negotiation — so you can focus on running your business.

How We Work
Requirements First
We start by understanding exactly what you need — grades, tolerances, volumes, lead times, and delivery requirements — before we look at any supplier.
Supplier Matching
We map your requirements against supplier capabilities across our established network to identify who can deliver the best outcome on quality, price, and schedule.
Independent Advice
We receive no commissions or referral fees from suppliers. Every recommendation is made entirely in your interest — that's what independent means.
Measurable Outcomes
Better pricing, better supply terms, and less time spent sourcing. We track the outcomes we deliver and stand behind the value we provide.
