Smorgon Steel

Smorgon Steel was an Australian steel manufacturing company.

In 2007 Smorgon Steel merged with OneSteel, except that its distribution operations were sold to BlueScope.^[1] As with the takeover of Email Limited in 2001, this takeover took a long time to get approval from the Australian anti-monopoly regulator, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission because approval of the takeover would result in only two significant businesses remaining in the steel distribution business in Australia.^[2]
