Step 01

International Sourcing

HSS Consortium sources primarily from South Korea — partnering directly with industry titans POSCO Steel and Hyundai Steel. Taiwan is an additional secondary sourcing market. We procure both Primary Steel and Secondary Steel (over-roll or prime excess) to offer the most competitive pricing in Bangladesh.

Primary Source: South Korea

Direct partnerships with POSCO Steel, Hyundai Steel, and Hansung Steel — the world's leading steel producers.

Secondary Source: Taiwan

Additional sourcing from Taiwanese mills for competitive pricing on secondary-grade materials.

Primary & Secondary Steel

We source both prime-grade steel and secondary/over-roll steel to accommodate all project budgets.

Bulk Collaboration

We collaborate with other importers to pool orders and import in bulk, guaranteeing lower costs than individual importers.

Step 04 & 05

Distribution Network

Before import, HSS Consortium ensures a confirmed sales channel for each specific batch of steel. This means every shipment has committed buyers before it leaves the Korean or Taiwanese port — a model that provides zero idle inventory and maximum working capital efficiency.
Pre-Committed Sales Policy
HSS Consortium secures advance sales for every import batch before shipment. For GI/GP and GA coils, most imports are already sold before arriving at Chittagong port.
