The steel supply chain consists of two segments.
The Upstream Steel Supply Chain includes mining and the production of steel.
The Downstream Steel Supply Chain encompasses the storage at processing plants, distribution, and the conversion into finished products.
The products associated with the downstream steel supply chain include coils, bars, pipes, angles, sheets, and semi-finished steel products.
