Introduction Good Strategic Fit In The Quest Of Cost-Competitiveness Cost competitiveness coupled with enhanced productivity has become MANTRAS for survival of steel companies. SGSSL came into existence in the year 2005, largely to cater the needs of sourcing from China, the global manufacturing hub. Today, there are three full fledged divisions working at SGSSL, namely: 1. �Refractories Division� 2. �Minerals and Metals� Division 3. �New Business� Division Refractory has been a very important input material for steel making. While in constant contact with molten iron and steel in the manufacturing process, it greatly impacts the cleanliness of steel. Refractory performance also decides the equipment availability for steel making. The high quality and chemically compatible basic refractories were scarce until Chinese Magnesite (in Liaoning Province) was discovered in early nineties for making high-performance steel plant refractories. SGSSL being based there has access to the best sources, coupled with experienced sales-service team it offers a good bet in terms of total Cost of Ownership (TCO). At �Minerals and Metals� division, forging long-term strategic alliances and price contracts with reputed producers, we are hedged against price escalations and short supplies of the materials. Continuous technical developments have been brought about through our active interfacing between the manufacturers and our esteemed clients. It has yielded optimum results with respect to material usage and service performances. At SGSSL we are proud of every family member for their entrepreneurial penchant for exploring more viable sources. The �New Business� division focuses on the needs which come-up time to time and explores sourcing opportunities from new geographical regions.
