Although stainless steel supplier Columbus Stainless can meet South Africa’s stainless steel material demands in all sectors, including the railroad industry, the apparent stainless steel consumption is too low to fulfil the mill’s total production capacity, says Columbus Stainless market development manager Lerato Mashigo. “We currently sell the excess capacity that is produced in our mill into most of the international stainless steel markets. Therefore, there remains sufficient capabilities and capacity within Columbus Stainless to meet the current demand and future growth demands in the domestic rail industry, as our priority ultimately lies with meeting the demands of the domestic market.”
