MEsteel.com was launched in 2000 as The B2B Internet Steel Portal
for the Middle East, and has become an icon of the Middle East steel
community, counting 1650 members and more than 100.000 visitors
per month.
Operating from Dubai, www.mesteel.com
provides Steel information, and an interactive database of steel
producers, distributors, end-users and servicing companies in the
Middle East.
The concept is simple "United be Strong" For 1000 AED
per year, steel related companies can be member of MEsteel com,
and get their own website at minimal cost, to advertise their products
on this common portal. Also for companies with an existing website,
it's important to be found on the internet jungle. When they join,
MEsteel visitors and members will find them easily too, by their
activities, brands and products. Mesteel.com guarantees it's members
a well focused exposure to the internet, thanks to continuously
updating and linking with all major International, Middle East and
Steel related search engines and websites. Search on Google, MSN,
Yahoo, Altavista# for Saudi steel, Dubai steel, etc# Always MEsteel
will show on the first page ahead of x thousand search results.
Once on MEsteel, it's very easy to contact all listed members.
On other sites, you often have to go through lengthy registrations
or payments, to find little info, while MEsteel is an open showroom
for it's members.
Visitors can search companies by name, products bought or sold,
activities, brands... They can filter them per country, sort by
city, and find in seconds, as example who in Saudi, buys steel angles,
or who in Dubai sells stainless steel plates from stock? You can
check detailed company profiles and email these companies directly
online. You could call MEsteel the Yellow Pages of the Steel Industry
in the Middle East,
with endless tools and search possibilities.
We see people arriving from abroad, with printouts of MEsteel listings,
to contact MEsteel's members once here and offer their products.
Local steel buyers find existing and new suppliers Stockists find
new steel mills and traders to work with, and get leads on new clients.
Contrary to other ecommerce sites, aiming to earn commission on
concluded deals,
MEsteel provides members free online trading.
Members can post inquiries - offers, show them online, accessible
to the whole world, or email them only to companies of interest.
Not only for steel, but also for fabricated products and steel industry
related services.
Negotiations against received inquiries and offers, can be done
from wherever you are! The whole negotiation history will be accessible
and saved online for both parties. Also lists of suppliers, clients
