In the modern industrial landscape, Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled (HRPO) steel has emerged as a critical material, bridging the gap between raw hot-rolled steel and expensive cold-rolled alternatives. Globally, the demand for "clean" hot-rolled steel is skyrocketing as manufacturers in the automotive and appliance sectors seek materials that offer superior surface finishes without the cost overhead of cold reduction.
The industrial trend is shifting toward sustainable and efficient processing. HRPO steel removes surface scale through a chemical pickling process and applies a protective oil layer to prevent oxidation. This ensures that the steel is ready for immediate laser cutting, welding, and painting, significantly reducing downstream processing time for global procurement teams.
The global HRPO market is projected to grow by 4.5% CAGR, driven by the expansion of infrastructure in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Wholesale suppliers are now focusing on high-strength grades like SPHC and S355 to meet modern engineering standards.
B2B buyers are increasingly prioritizing Reliability and Supply Chain Transparency. As a primary China-based factory, we address these needs by integrating raw material sourcing from giants like Baowu and Shougang with our internal precision processing.
In North American and European markets, the demand is focused on heavy-gauge plates for machinery. Conversely, in the Latin American market, the focus remains on versatile coils for localized construction and metal stamping industries.
STEP MILLION STEEL SUPPLY CHINA CO., LTD. founded in 2010, STEP MILLON is a leading steel material supplier and manufacture in China. Our production facilities cover over 66,700 square meters factory, and have more than 300 employees and eight High Frequency welded lines. Each line has a complete set of equipment to accomplish at least five production steps.
All of this gives us a monthly output of 100,000 tons, half of which is exported. These facilities also include a molding workshop complete with 20 R&D engineers possessing over 10 years’ experience.
Our products, including SPCC, SPHC, SGCC/SECC, and STS, are widely used in construction, greenhouse, fence, household appliances, automobiles, elevators and other industries. We have established long-term and stable strategic cooperation relations with more than ten well-known enterprises such as LG Electronics and Xizi United.

Technical expertise and operational excellence define the competitive advantages of our organization. With over 15 years of industry experience, the enterprise possesses a profound understanding of client requirements while maintaining a highly competitive market position. Quality control remains the core priority, with rigorous production monitoring systems designed to eliminate the possibility of compensation claims.
Over 20 inspectors, with over 10 years’ experience, will find the suitable raw materials for your order. All of our raw materials have GB, ASTM, BS or DIN certifications. CE certifications are available upon request too. To accomplish this, we use testing equipment from Germany and Japan.
Our headquarters has maintained close cooperation with major steel plants, including Hebei Iron and Steel Group, Baowu Iron and Steel Group, and Shougang Iron and Steel Group. We sell more than 700,000 tons of steel annually, with an annual turnover of nearly 4 billion yuan.
As a leading Wholesale Hot Rolled Oiled Steel Supplier, we understand that the quality of HRPO steel is defined by the precision of the pickling process. Unlike traditional hot-rolled steel, which carries a thick layer of iron oxide (scale), our HRPO products undergo a hydrochloric acid bath that leaves the surface clean and smooth. This "pickled" surface is then coated with a thin layer of industrial-grade oil to prevent flash rusting during transportation and storage. This makes our steel the preferred choice for laser cutting operators, as the absence of scale prevents damage to expensive laser optics and ensures a cleaner edge.
The global procurement shift toward Chinese steel factories is fueled by our ability to provide high-volume consistency. With a monthly capacity of 100,000 tons, Step Million Steel serves as a vital node in the global supply chain. We specialize in deep-drawing quality steel, which is essential for the automotive sector. For example, in the production of car frames and suspension parts, the ductility and surface purity of our HRPO steel ensure that components can be stamped without cracking or surface flaws.
In terms of regional application, our SPHC and SPHD grades are highly sought after in the European market for appliance enclosures. Our strategic partnership with LG Electronics highlights our ability to meet the most stringent surface requirements. When a manufacturer uses our oiled steel, they are effectively skipping the pre-treatment phase of their own production line, leading to significant cost savings in terms of chemicals, energy, and labor.
Furthermore, our reliability is backed by our logistical prowess. Located in China's industrial heartland, we have streamlined export processes to the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. All products originate from reputable mills, utilizing premium raw materials and the latest technological advancements in strict accordance with international industrial standards. This commitment to quality is matched by a pricing strategy that ensures cost-effectiveness without compromising material integrity.
Our service framework is built on efficiency. A standardized response protocol ensures that all inquiries are addressed within 24 hours, with comprehensive solutions provided within 48 hours. Furthermore, we offer flexible cooperation terms, including the acceptance of small-scale initial orders to facilitate trust before formal long-term partnerships. Enhanced payment terms and expedited delivery schedules are integrated into the service model to maximize value for global clients and ensure seamless supply chain integration.
