Pool your steel spend across grades, mills, and regions to unlock mill credit on volume — typically 8–15% savings on raw steel cost without changing a single specification.
Across stampings, weldments, machined parts, and structural — your suppliers each buy steel independently. Same coil grades, different mills, no volume leverage, and rebates lost in the margin.
CSC audits your supply base's raw-steel purchases (under NDA), maps the grades and tonnage, and architects a consolidated buy across 2–3 mills with negotiated mill credit. Your suppliers benefit. Your unit cost drops. The savings flow to your P&L.
We pool the steel your suppliers already buy — stampings, machining, forgings, fabrications — and route it through two or three mills and a single service center. Higher combined volume, lower unit cost, and mill credit that flows back to your P&L. Volume is inversely proportional to price.
From the mill to the service center to your component makers, assemblers, and the OEM — every tier adds margin on steel bought in small lots. CSC makes the buy visible end to end and consolidates it where the leverage is.
Across your top 20 steel-using suppliers — grades, gauges, tonnage, mills, regional split. Under mutual NDA.
