Mr. Pongsak Haelom, Marketing Manager of Siam Yamato Steel Co., Ltd. (SYS), a producer of H-beams and wide flanges for over 25 years, revealed that currently, contractors for large-scale construction projects are increasingly prioritizing the selection of high-quality steel from reliable sources. Presently, there are steel products manufactured in Thailand that have received the Made in Thailand (MiT) certification from the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).

“In any construction project, whether large or small, it is crucial for contractors to consider using strong materials that meet standards certified by trusted agencies, along with having a clear production source. This ensures a stable and durable structure in the long term. Currently, the market offers H-beams and wide flanges from various production sources. Therefore, investors, contractors, and project managers should prioritize selecting reliable structural materials to achieve strong constructions, which also reduces construction time, making it more convenient and safe for future residents,” he stated.

“Currently, government projects mandate that at least 90% of the value or quantity of steel used in construction must be sourced from domestic production. This presents a great opportunity for SYS to be part of significant national projects. Promoting the use of domestically produced products builds confidence among government agencies, the private sector, and the public to support Thai-made products, leading to job creation and economic circulation within the country, as well as enhancing trust with international partners,” Mr. Pongsak added.

H-beams and wide flanges are quality steel products from SYS, certified by MiT. Over the past 25 years, they have been recognized by investors and contractors for large-scale projects, including government infrastructure works, due to their reliable production sources in Thailand, which can be verified at every production stage, and their properties that meet customer demands for strength and usability. Additionally, SYS provides detailed product information in the SYS Mill Certificate for every piece, and the post-sale inspection service ensures consumers can use the products with peace of mind, reinforcing SYS's leadership in the structural steel industry in the ASEAN region.

SYS remains committed to producing high-quality H-beams and wide flanges to meet customer needs. Besides being quality steel, they are also green steel that is environmentally friendly, focusing on energy savings, reducing work time, and minimizing PM2.5 dust.

Moreover, for project developers or owners using quality steel produced domestically, as well as environmentally friendly recycled materials, this can contribute to scoring points in assessments for green building certifications.
