Made in Australia for 100 years.
We’re Lysaght: The Australian steel people.

Proudly made in Australia since 1921, Lysaght steel building products have shaped the nation. From quintessential corrugated roofing to large commercial & industrial projects, Lysaght has been at the forefront of the Australian building industry throughout its proud heritage. Now as we reflect on the past, we have an eye to the future as we seek to enable our customers & communities to build on.
