Any further information you could provide will help narrow down a
search for customers. What types of industries and customers currently
buy your products? I don't need names, but a general sense of the
types of companies you are looking for would make a search more
efficient!

 Thanks!

Are you also looking to contact current Australian suppliers who might
want to carry your products as well?

Hi! Thanks for the question.

One possible solution for you is to contact manufacturers who would
require the steel you can supply. You will need manufacturers that use
steel to make the finished product like makers of construction
materials. I have found a directory that can provide you with the
contact information.
 
In this directory please follow the steps to get the contact information.

1. Click on the company name.
2. Click on the ?Contact Details? link on the right side.
3. A New window will open giving you the contact information.


Here is a list of possible manufacturers that could be your potential
clients. Some lists may repeat a listing of a particular company if
the latter manufactures more than one product.

My fellow researcher Umiat-ga also makes an interesting point. You may
also want to contact Australian suppliers who have the capabilities to
distribute your products to a wider market.. Here is a list of
Australian suppliers. Again click on the company name to get the
contact details.

The same website also features a list of Australian metal product
buyers. This will be very important to your company.

Another way to get possible leads is to visit the websites of
manufacturer associations. One example of a great lead will be the
Australia Shipbuilders Association. It has a list of links to member
websites.
