The Whyalla Steelworks is a fully-integrated operation, starting with the mining of raw materials and ending with the distribution of finished steel products. Raw steel is produced in the steelworks with about 65% of that product then transferred by rail to InfraBuild Manufacturing sites in billet form for further processing. The balance of the steel is then converted to finished products in the Whyalla Rolling Mill. These products service the construction and rail transport industries.

ARC are a true blue Australian company with a history that mirrors the history of this country since 1920. It was in that year that we became the first to produce steel fabricated mesh here in Australia at our Sunshine site near Melbourne.
Over the years we have supplied the steel built into many of our Australian icons such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Tunnel and Opera House, the MCG and Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, the Sydney and Melbourne Airports, Victoria Bridge in Brisbane and Parliament House in Canberra.
ARC steel is in the bones of the roads we drive on, the houses we live in, the buildings we work in, the schools our kids learn in and the iconic landmarks that symbolise Australia to the rest of the world.
We have been producing our chainwire rolls in Australian since the early 1950's and our weldmesh panels since the 1930's. We are proud that our products are Made in Australia, for Australian conditions and designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate.
Many generations have used our products over the years throughout the different regions of Australia and have come to trust and demand ARC Weldmesh Panel for the job.
