Portugal’s construction sector has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade. From the historic urban renewal projects in Lisbon and Porto to the massive industrial expansions in the Port of Sines, the demand for high-safety, high-durability scaffolding has reached an all-time high. As a premier scaffolding manufacturer and factory serving the Portuguese market, we understand the unique logistical and regulatory requirements of the Iberian Peninsula.
Safety is the cornerstone of Portuguese construction, governed strictly by the Autoridade para as Condições do Trabalho (ACT). Our products, ranging from adjustable steel props to heavy-duty scaffolding tubes, are engineered to meet and exceed EU standards such as EN 12810 and EN 12811. Whether it is supporting the restoration of Pombaline buildings or facilitating the maintenance of offshore wind platforms, our steel solutions provide the structural integrity required for complex engineering feats.
Our scaffolding systems undergo rigorous load-bearing tests. In Portugal’s coastal climates, corrosion is a major concern; thus, we utilize high-zinc hot-dip galvanization to ensure a lifespan that exceeds industry averages even in salty Atlantic air.
With over 20 R&D engineers and 10 years of experience, our factory designs systems that allow for rapid assembly and disassembly. This reduces labor costs for Portuguese contractors, a vital factor in a competitive market.
Aligned with Portugal's "Green Deal" objectives, our manufacturing process focuses on steel recyclability and energy-efficient production lines, reducing the carbon footprint of your construction supply chain.
Serve the public, focus on quality
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.
Founded in 2010, STEP MILLION STEEL SUPPLY CHINA CO., LTD. is a leading steel material supplier and manufacturer. We specialize in pre-galvanized steel pipes, hot-dip galvanized steel pipes, ERW pipes, square and rectangular tubes, and scaffolding tubes. Our products are widely used in construction, greenhouses, household appliances, automobiles, and elevators. In Portugal, our materials are increasingly sought after for infrastructure projects that require the reliability of world-class steel plants like Baowu and Shougang Group.
Scaffolding in Portugal's old city centers requires extreme care. Our lightweight yet strong scaffolding tubes allow for the stabilization of centuries-old facades during delicate interior renovations without putting excessive stress on the surrounding cobblestone streets.
The maritime industry in Portugal demands materials that can withstand high salinity. Our galvanized pipes and steel plates are the preferred choice for shipyard scaffolding, offering long-term resistance against rust and structural fatigue.
As Portugal leads the way in renewable energy, our Zn-Al-Mg coated steel sheets are increasingly utilized for solar mounting structures in large-scale photovoltaic farms across the Alentejo region, providing 30+ years of durability.
Over 20 inspectors, with over 10 years’ experience, 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, utilizing state-of-the-art testing equipment from Germany and Japan to ensure every batch sent to Portugal is flawless.
Technical expertise and operational excellence define our competitive advantages. With over 15 years of industry experience, we possess a profound understanding of client requirements in the Portuguese market while maintaining a highly competitive price point.
Quality control remains our core priority, with rigorous production monitoring systems designed to eliminate the possibility of compensation claims. 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 from Portugal 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.
