Demco Steel goes back to 1922, when Yervant S. Demirdjian started a local steel stockholding business in Lebanon. It has since grown into both a large steel trader and a manufacturer. On the trading side it keeps a stock of more than 200,000 tonnes of long and flat products, including reinforcing bars, coils, sheets, plates, flat and square bars, channels and beams, which builders and fabricators draw on for construction projects. On the manufacturing side, it runs an ERW (electric resistance welded) pipe plant, listed by the USGS under Demco Steel Industries in the Southern Metn, and a welded wire mesh plant that has exported tens of thousands of tonnes to neighbouring Middle Eastern countries. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification across its steel activities and says it was the first steel trader in Lebanon to do so. For contractors, that means rebar, mesh and pipe can come from a single Lebanese supplier.
