Locally made, lower emissions.
New Zealand’s lowest emissions, locally made reinforcing steel.
All PACIFIC™ and PACIFIC DCRB™ reinforcing steel is produced from billets supplied by our sister company, New Zealand Steel. In 2026, those billets will be made using New Zealand Steel’s new Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). The largest industrial decarbonisation initiative in our nation’s history. By combining local resource efficiency with a highly renewable grid, the EAF helps ensure New Zealand’s steel industry is built on circularity and sustainability. Every tonne of Pacific Steel will carry that advantage.
Building for tomorrow means lowering emissions today.
Across New Zealand, engineers, architects, and developers are working to reduce the embodied carbon of buildings and infrastructure. Certification frameworks such as Green Star and Homestar are raising expectations, while government and industry are committed to ambitious climate targets.
But these goals can’t come at the expense of quality, performance, or certainty. The challenge is clear: how do we continue to build the homes, workplaces, and infrastructure our future depends on, while reducing emissions without compromise?
Choosing PACIFIC™ and PACIFIC DCRB™ helps ensure your projects contribute positively to New Zealand’s future.
