Steel Plus Network: North America’s Premier Networking Hub for the Structural Steel Industry

By Colleen Blackmore-Doucette, President

In today’s fast-paced, relationship-driven marketplace, success in the structural steel industry is about more than just delivering quality products and services—it’s about who you know, how you connect, and the opportunities those relationships create.

That’s why Steel Plus Network is proud to stand as North America’s Premier NETWORK for fabricators and suppliers in the structural steel industry. For us, “Network” isn’t just part of our name—it’s the very foundation of what we do.

The Power of the Network

Our members know that the right connections can open doors to new projects, partnerships, and growth opportunities that would be nearly impossible to access alone. Steel Plus Network is designed to bring together leading fabricators and suppliers from across North America, creating a trusted community where collaboration thrives.

From regional meetings and golf events to large-scale networking opportunities, we ensure members can meet face-to-face, build trust, and form lasting business relationships. These connections often lead to partnerships that increase competitiveness and drive success in the marketplace.

Why Networking Comes First

In our experience, networking is the number one benefit members gain from being part of Steel Plus Network. Here’s why:

• Direct Access to Decision-Makers – Meet and collaborate with owners, executives, and purchasing managers.
• Shared Industry Knowledge – Learn from peers who understand your challenges and share solutions that work.
• Stronger Supplier Relationships – Build rapport with suppliers who are committed to supporting member needs.

When you’re connected with the right people, you’re positioned to win more work, operate more efficiently, and stay ahead of industry trends.

Rebates & Group Volume: A Strong Second

While networking is our top priority, we know that financial benefits matter. That’s why rebates and group purchasing volume are a close second in our list of member advantages.

By leveraging the collective buying power of our Network, members enjoy competitive pricing and rebate opportunities that directly improve the bottom line. The more we work together, the stronger these benefits become.

Stronger Together

Steel Plus Network isn’t just an association—it’s a business community built on trust, collaboration, and mutual success. Our members know that when fabricators and suppliers work together, everyone benefits.

As we look to the future, our focus remains clear: to be the premier networking platform for the structural steel industry in North America, while continuing to deliver exceptional value through rebates and group purchasing opportunities.

If you’re ready to expand your network, strengthen your partnerships, and be part of a trusted community that’s driving the industry forward, there’s never been a better time to join Steel Plus Network.
