The key to APL Apollo’s rise is creating win-win situations. Our journey had begun with one such decision to carve a niche in the market. When we entered this industry, it was about round circular pipes. There were many large and established players with whom we were competing. We were a very small player in the market. So we thought, that how to differentiate our position, then we decided to manufacture square and rectangular tubes, which replaced the conventional products’ like steel angle, channel, wooden structure, and aluminium profiles. This is the way we have given a new dimension to the market. We are the World’s First Company to produce steel tubes from 10mm*10mm to 1000*1000mm with 0.23mm to 40mm thickness.

We have 55% market share in India’s structural steel tube industry. As an industry leader, we endeavor to bring the best technology to steel tube manufacturing, so that it can boost the industry as a whole in terms of efficiency and product innovation. We have been pioneers in bringing the latest technology in structural steel tube manufacturing such as DFT (Direct Forming Technology), ERW (Electrical Resistance welding), inline galvanizing technology, and high-speed rolling mills. We are glad that small players are also keen to adopt these technologies, which will augment the overall proficiency of the entire industry.

The rising demand for steel in India indicates a significant opportunity for structural steel tube consumption. Steel tube manufacturing is among the fastest-growing industries across the globe. APL Apollo has gone from strength to strength to lead the charge in revolutionizing the Structural Steel Tube manufacturing industry; pioneering and persisting in its aspirations to provide sustainable alternatives to the industry.

Today APL Apollo has 11 plants across the country along with the highest number of SKUs which is in the range of 1500+ and 75 registered trademarks, with 16 registered product designs. Our strong distribution network has played a pivotal role to occupy the leading position in the Industry. We have more than 800 distributors pan India, who further sell out products to 50,000 retailers and 2 million fabricators down the value chain. We have an extended distribution network of warehouses and branch offices in 29 cities across the country.

APL Apollo’s pillars are grounded in innovation, market creation, and ESG. Our skills in innovation, market creation, and ESG are already trusted by our customers and also by industry participants. As far as ESG is concerned, this was the new strategy we embedded in our DNA in the last two years. We believe that sustainable growth is the way forward for Indian companies and APL Apollo wants to be the front-runner in achieving sustainable goals which are being set by all the countries.

Our Raipur plant is coming up with a 1 million tonne capacity. APL Apollo is going to produce 100% innovative products in Raipur. We have already started our market creation activities & the initial response from our consumers is highly encouraging. The ultimate objective of the company is to emerge as a one-stop shop for the largest spectrum of structural steel tubes and to attain the pole position, which will create sustainable value for all stakeholders.
