right purchasing
Our combined group leverage provides added negotiation strength which complements each steel fabricator's own purchasing strategies. It's a win-win approach.

Steel Plus Network aims at establishing long-term relationships with privileged suppliers. Our regional approach allows steel fabricators to create tailored buying strategies that specifically meet their needs. Agreements negotiated by Steel Plus Network include a rebate program and additional discounts. Members are encouraged to negotiate with privileged suppliers to complement their own purchasing program. Through our buying group, steel fabricators obtain the best offers and conditions, and benefit from significant volume discounts. Our suppliers are required to remain competitive at all times to retain their privileged status.

Steel Points Reward Program

The Steel Points Reward Program is a tangible competitive advantage for Steel Plus Network members. For each dollar of purchase made at Canam, members receive a significant annual rebate in the form of points. These points can be redeemed on future purchases or items from the reward catalogue.

This program began its first year of operation in 2002 and is exclusive to SPN members.
