ASI South Australia Fabricators Forum 2025 was Proudly Sponsored By (ATV) Adelaide Trucks And Vans South
ASI-organised forum was a great opportunity for local steel fabricators to voice their concerns directly to SA Minister for Infrastructure and Transport and the Minister for Energy and Mining Hon. Tom Koutsantonis. The discussion around cheap imported steel and its impact on local fabricators, especially in privately funded projects, seems like a critical issue. It highlights the ongoing challenge of maintaining local industry competitiveness while managing the influx of imported materials. The emphasis on local content for government-funded infrastructure projects is also important, as it helps ensure that taxpayer money supports local jobs and businesses. It's good to see that the SA Industry Participation Policy (SAIPP) is being brought into the conversation, as it can potentially serve as a framework for resolving such challenges.
