Shiu Wing Steel was founded in 1956 by the late Mr Pong Ding Yuen. Today, Shiu Wing Steel is the only steel rolling mill in Hong Kong and has been the leading manufacturer and retailer of reinforcing bars for over 60 years.
Shiu Wing Steel has been, and will continue to contribute to the Hong Kong economy by supplying quality, Made-in-Hong Kong products at competitive prices with guaranteed on-time delivery. Prominent past projects include the Mass Transit Railway, cross harbour tunnels, Hong Kong CLK Airport, Tsing Ma Bridge, and the High Speed Railway West Kowloon Station.
Amidst the severe shortage in fixers in recent years and lack of space on-site, Shiu Wing Steel has invested in off-site cut-and-bend service on a Government-approved Steel Reinforcing Bar Prefabrication Yard, which helps reduce on-site processing and boost the productivity of the industry.
Shiu Wing was founded by the late Mr. Pong Ding Yuen in 1950 as a ship-breaking operation in Kwai Chung.
The advent of the container port saw the business move to Junk Bay. The first rolling mill was installed at this time. Strips of steel cut from ship plate were hand-fed into the mill and rolled into ½ inch bars.
The demand for higher tensile grades of steel by engineers urged Shiu Wing to import high quality billets from BHP Australia.
The first electric arc furnace was installed. The arc furnace recycled locally collected scrap steel by melting and refining, then continuously casting the molten steel into billets.
Government redevelopment plans required Shiu Wing Steel to once again move sites.
Second 50MT electric arc furnace was installed.
The new site in Tuen Mun was identified and Shiu Wing Steel invested the new rolling mill.
Shiu Wing attained ISO9000, certified by Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency.
The rolling mill in Tuen Mun began operation. The annual capacity reached 750,000mt.
The wire mesh plant was introduced. It is able to supply a range of welded steel fabric for the reinforcement of concrete.
Installed "Endless Bar Rolling System" (EBROS). This process welds billets together in the mill line so that an endless rolling process is obtained, resulting in improved quality and uniformity of product, as well as increased productivity.
Successfully obtained zero tariff status under Closer Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).Began setting up sales and marketing stations throughout the Pearl River Delta region in China.
Shiu Wing Trading Company Limited implemented ISO9001 Quality Management System, certified by Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency.
Amidst the severe shortage in fixers in recent years and lack of space on-site, Shiu Wing Steel has invested in off-site cut-and-bend service on a Government-approved Steel Reinforcing Bar Prefabrication Yard, which helps reduce on-site processing and boost the productivity of the industry.
The "Endless Bar Rolling System" welds billets together by the flash welding method and is capable of creating an infinitely long billet that will always subdivide into any length chosen by our customers. The result is improved product quality and uniformity, and increased productivity.
Shiu Wing recognizes that customers have waste on site when cutting from standard 12m-length bars. With EBROS and the shearing line, we are able to produce large quantities of bars of different lengths. By providing the exact lengths required by our customers, we can work together to minimize wastage on site.
