High-performance carbon steel coils and plates custom machined for immediate deployment in the Mediterranean shipbuilding corridors, civil renovations, and industrial construction hubs.
Genoa stands as Italy's primary maritime portal, driving massive requirements for heavy structural materials. The ongoing expansion of the Port of Genoa (Porto di Genova)—including the historic "Diga Foranea" (New Breakwater) project—along with localized shipyards like Fincantieri in Sestri Ponente, represents a highly demanding operational climate. Structural steel components utilized in these environments must withstand severe marine atmospheric corrosion, load dynamics, and mechanical fatigue.
Shandong Tezhong Materials Co., Ltd. coordinates metallurgical processes specifically aligned with Southern European structural criteria. Our supply of carbon steel plates and coils conforms directly to the rigorous EN 10025 requirements, guaranteeing high yield strength and superb weldability. These characteristics are essential for Genoese heavy engineering sectors, which range from offshore crane fabrications and shipyard modules to regional railway network updates.
Furthermore, the steel demand in the Ligurian region requires specialized logisitical execution. Direct freight routing to Genoa Port requires secure containment, anti-saline protective oil coatings, and accurate customs documentation. We execute tailored rust-prevention methods during transport to ensure that structural coils and sheets arrive in Genoa ready for immediate manufacturing.
Established in 1997, Shandong Tezhong Materials Co., Ltd. combines heavy manufacturing prowess with deep supply chain optimization to deliver superior steel products globally.

Our dedicated transport network ensures smooth transition from factory to the Port of Genoa (Porto di Genova):
Operating in Genoa means integrating within a historic industrial city where road access can be physically constrained by coastal geography. Managing transport from the dockside to the final installation yard requires planning, precision, and coordination. Whether delivering heavy structural coils to steel service centers in Bolzaneto or supplying plates directly to the shipyard slips in Sestri, we structure our deliveries to match local logistical realities.
Our export logistics department coordinates delivery matching client-specific schedule requirements. We provide flexible packaging options, including "eye to sky" or "eye to wall" coil orientations, heavy timber blocking, and rust-inhibiting oils. This guarantees that when our steel arrives in Liguria, its metallurgical properties remain fully preserved against the marine air.
Aligning our production lines with global initiatives to lower emissions, improve yield consistency, and support the circular economy.
Shandong Tezhong Materials Co., Ltd. continuously updates its production lines with intelligent monitoring systems. Utilizing closed-loop automation, our rolling mills dynamically adjust plate thickness and coil tension, keeping dimensional variations to a fraction of a millimeter. This degree of control yields flat, high-tolerance sheets, minimizing fabrication waste in our clients' workshops.
Our in-house R&D team concentrates on metallurgical refinements that increase structural durability without requiring excess material weight. By optimizing carbon equivalents, we improve welding properties, helping Genoese engineers reduce preparation times and consumption of filler metals.
We are working to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations. Through waste-heat recovery systems and process gas recirculation, we generate a substantial portion of our own processing power. We also carry out strict environmental monitoring to minimize particulate emissions during sintering and melting.
These efforts align with the Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) frequently required for major public tenders throughout the European Union and Italy. Choosing Shandong Tezhong Materials means securing a raw material partner prepared for upcoming carbon adjustment standards.
Operating modern production lines and quality systems to ensure every shipment conforms to international marine standards.

Inspect raw materials through final product stages to maintain compliance standards.
Select from our comprehensive product range, featuring exact dimensional compliance and premium grades to support Genoese infrastructure projects.
Answers to engineering and logistics questions frequently raised by Southern European procurement managers.
Our carbon steel products are supplied according to domestic designations such as Q235B, Q355B, and Q355D. These grades map directly to European standard EN 10025 structural grades, notably S235JR and S355JR/J2 respectively. Additionally, we provide steel compliant with ASTM A36 and ASTM A572 specifications, complete with corresponding Mill Test Reports.
We apply a multi-barrier protection protocol for Mediterranean ocean cargo. This includes a uniform application of high-viscosity rust-preventive oil, wrapping in heavy-duty VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper, outer steel structural banding, and moisture-absorbent desiccant packs inside the packaging.
Every cargo batch is shipped with a detailed Mill Test Certificate (MTC) conforming to EN 10204 Type 3.1. This certificate documents the chemical composition (Carbon, Silicon, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulphur equivalents) and mechanical characteristics (Yield Strength, Tensile Strength, Elongation percentage, Impact Energy levels).
Standard mill processing takes approximately 10 to 15 days. Direct maritime shipping from major loading ports (Qingdao/Tianjin) to the Port of Genoa (Porto di Genova) averages 28 to 35 days, resulting in a total delivery timeline of 40 to 50 days.
Yes. We provide comprehensive processing services, including precision slitting for steel strips, leveling and decoiling for specific plate lengths, and custom profile cutting. These processes are completed at our manufacturing center before packaging.
Yes. By maintaining low carbon equivalent levels (CEV), our S235, S355, Q235, and Q355 grades are optimized for standard welding procedures. This helps minimize weld cracking risks and reduces pre-heating requirements.
