The official unveiling of the Isando Distribution Centre, in Germiston, on Friday, marked the next step in steel producer ArcelorMittal South Africa’s (AMSA’s) long-term initiative to migrate the bulk of domestic final product steel distribution from road to rail. Dedicated rail links between AMSA’s production facilities in Newcastle and Saldanha and the Isando Distribution Centre steel rail hub in Gauteng, were established by State-owned rail group Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) late in 2016, with the first transport of steel by rail undertaken in early December.
