History
DITH is a global leader in the trading and distribution of steel and the raw materials essential to steel production.
We operate from 70 global locations worldwide and enjoy commercial relationships with over 52,281 customers in 110 countries through our trading, distribution and production activities.
We are active across the entire steel value chain and while trading is central to all our activities, the production and distribution units are cornerstones of the business model.
Our global presence and strength in structured trade finance allows us to provide vital value-added logistics and financial solutions to all sectors of the industrial supply chain.
From construction to shipbuilding, white goods, automotive, mining and energy production, DITH is fully integrated into all the principal steel intensive industries – and able to deliver virtually the entire spectrum of steel products whenever and wherever needed.
Since inception, DITH’s growth has been powered by the successful implementation of a simple strategy based on maintaining long term strategic partnerships and an innovative business model.
Our long-term sustainability is dependent on being able to consistently evolve to meet the realities of a rapidly changing global market place and continuing to cater to the high expectations of customers and suppliers which, in turn, reflect the growing needs of societies and economies around the world.
Our business practices are underpinned by empirical principles and strong ethical values. We continually strive to ensure that commercial integrity and respect for different cultures takes precedence in our daily approach to business.
Business
At our core, we operate an interconnected ‘whole of value chain’ business model that links our central trading activities with our industrial production and downstream stockholding and distribution centres.
We then employ a suite of value added services such as: logistics and shipping, steel service centres – for further processing and customisation – and various trade finance structures, to deliver end-to-end support to our global customer base.
Our Business Principles describe who we are and what we aspire to be. They frame and guide our work together, inform all our decisions and help us navigate an ever more complex geo-political, economic and regulatory environment.
