2_Platform functioning

It is well known that each steel processor, constructor, producer, stockiest, shipyard etc. has passive steel stocks (old stocks with slow rotation or even with no rotation) as inefficient assets which most probably need to be transformed into cash so needed for business continuity instead of keeping them and exposing to a certain risk of marking scrap from passive steel stocks.

www.Up-Stel.eu is a B2B platform (business-to-business platform) which directly connect “Sellers” (that are registered on the “Platform” with “Buyers” (that are or nor registered on the “Platform”) that are active in steel industry.

“Sellers” are normally steel construction companies, steel work companies, shipyards, steel stockists, steel producers, steel distributors etc. located in Europe (EU and non EU states), which have in their portfolio passive steel inventories (steel stocks with slow or even no rotation) and are interested in selling these stocks. “Buyers” are normally companies working with steel (construction, metal processing, distributors etc.) interested in immediate purchasing of steel products at the best prices.

Thus, both parties “Seller” and “Buyer” had to connect each other directly and act with responsibility.

www.Up-Steel.eu is not just about connecting free of any charge the demand and supply of steel products but is also about reducing the steel waste, it is about an efficient use of planet resources, it is about sharing ideas, it is about sharing information and building partnerships that might generate efficiency and synergies in steel market.
