The Australian Made Campaign Ltd (AMCL) has announced the Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA) as its newest Industry Partner, marking a joint effort to strengthen support for Australian manufacturing.
AMCL said the partnership highlights the importance of promoting locally produced goods and backing manufacturers across the country.
Chief Executive Ben Lazzaro said working with SRIA would help ensure businesses and consumers have access to locally manufactured steel reinforcement products that meet high standards.
“This partnership between Australian Made and the Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia is a key step in our collective effort to support local manufacturers,” Lazzaro said.
“By working together with SRIA, we aim to strengthen Australia’s manufacturing sector and ensure that businesses and consumers have access to locally produced steel reinforcement products.”
SRIA, a not-for-profit organisation, provides technical leadership, resources and support to engineers, builders, government and students. Its members meet product quality and safety standards with independent third-party certifications guaranteeing compliance with AS/NZS 4671.
SRIA Chief Executive and Executive Director Scott Munter said aligning with Australian Made underscored the institute’s commitment to supporting jobs and reinforcing supply chains through local manufacturing.
“We are proud to align with the Australian Made logo – one of the most trusted and recognised brands both here and overseas,” Munter said.
“This partnership highlights the role of SRIA members in creating local jobs, strengthening our supply chain, and ensuring that Australia builds with steel reinforcement that meets the highest standards of safety and sustainability.”
SRIA represents 13 certified reinforcing steel processors that together employ more than 5,000 Australians and supply much of the construction industry’s steel reinforcement needs.
