Our core objective is to address and harness stainless steel’s growth trend in New Zealand. NZSSDA focuses its market development efforts in fostering the understanding and use of stainless steel by developing the competence and efficiency of the industry through promotion, education and training, the provision of technical advice and fabricator accreditation. We are a member of a global network of Stainless Steel Development Associations with the objective to support and provide Fabricators, Manufacturers, Engineers, Architects and others with access to information on Stainless Steel standards, specifications, fabrication, machining, installation & maintenance, practical training and seminars, as well as links to technical resources. Since our formation in 1999, we have been publishing newsletters promoting both NZ and International applications of stainless steel, as well as regular newsletters to our members. We also network with other NZ industry groups in order to promote the benefits and advantages of using Stainless Steel. Our close association with NZ organisations such as HERA and Metals NZ gives us opportunities for input into decisions regarding national issues such as manufacturing, training, sustainability and zero carbon emissions. We organise product and training seminars for industry and members covering a wide range of topics, as well as offering preferred access to international webinars.
