BRC
BRC is the UK's largest supplier of steel products for use in concrete
construction. It also has activities in Singapore and,
through joint ventures, in Ireland and in parts of China.
UK activities
BRC is engaged in the design, distribution, marketing and manufacture
of a wide range of concrete reinforcement and related products including:
- re-bar
- steel mesh
- specialty products
Other countries
In Ireland, Acertec has a 50% interest in BRC McMahon, the remaining
50% being held by James McMahon Limited. BRC McMahon manufactures
welded mesh for the local market and has been particularly successful
over the past five years, benefiting from the buoyant construction
market in Ireland. A certain amount of re-bar and mesh is also supplied
to Ireland from the division's UK operations.
BRC accesses markets in Singapore and China through its 70.71% stake
in BRC Asia Limited, a company listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange.
BRC Asia is the market leader in mesh and pre-fabricated reinforcement
in Singapore.
BRC Asia also has a joint venture with a major Chinese steel mill,
Magang Industry Development Company Limited which operates in certain
provinces in eastern China. Acertec's presence in the Far East allows
it a first hand understanding of the Chinese market, one of the
major drivers of global steel prices.
