Give Steel

What Give Steel does

Give Steel A/S is a Danish privately-held steel structure manufacturer founded in 2003 and headquartered in Brande, Denmark, designing, fabricating, and erecting load-bearing steel structures for buildings and infrastructure across Northern Europe. The company operates from a single integrated production site in Brande with an annual capacity of 54,000 tons of steel structures across 29,500 m² of indoor production area and ~80,000 m² of open space, supported by sales and engineering offices in Aarhus, Stuttgart (Germany), and two offices in Katowice (Poland) for BIM and structural design services. The firm employs 600+ people across five locations in three countries and serves main contractors and developers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Poland, Finland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland.

Give Steel's product portfolio centers on a single integrated offering — load-bearing steel structures — with named sub-products: GSY BEAM® (a registered integrated steel composite beam, available in a low-carbon variant manufactured from up to 98% recycled steel), gitterspær trusses, stålspær steel frames, and søjle-bjælkekonstruktioner column-beam systems. Two newer thematic solutions have been layered onto this base: POD (Performance Optimized Datacenter) — a modular prefabricated steel module for hyperscale and colocation data centers — and CO2-reduced steel supplied with verified EPDs. Production relies on advanced robotic welding and handling lines, water-based paint systems, and electrically-powered machinery. Execution is certified to EN 1090-1 up to execution class EXC4 (highest structural class), with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems, EN ISO 3834 welding quality, Norwegian Sentral Godkjent approval, and SBTi-validated net-zero climate targets.

The revenue model is project-based: one-off tenders for design, engineering, fabrication, and delivery of custom steel structures, with optional on-site assembly governed by separate sales-and-delivery terms. Pricing is quote-based and non-publicly disclosed, with BIM/structural design services (delivered from Poland) often bundled with steel supply or sold stand-alone. Customer segments include data center contractors (a stated growth vertical), logistics and industrial building contractors, public and sports venue builders, and commercial and multi-storey residential developers. Notable reference projects span the Carlsberg Byen district (1,400+ GSY beams and 1,600+ tons delivered 2019-2023), Copenhagen Airport Terminal 3 expansion (handover 2027), the Ilulissat Isfjordcenter in Greenland (Tekla BIM Award 2020), the AAK biomass boiler house in Aarhus, and the Fehmarnbelt immersed tunnel link. Sales are direct, with country-specific sales engineers in each export market, supported by an inbound CO2 hotline and dedicated sustainability engineering staff that engage customers pre-tender for material and design optimization.

Revenue model

1. Project-Based Steel Structure Contracts: Primary revenue from one-off project contracts for the design, engineering, production and delivery of load-bearing steel structures (steel frames, trusses, column-beam structures, GSY composite beams, facades) to contractors and developers across Northern Europe. Each project is custom-engineered and tendered.
2. Assembly and Installation Services: Optional on-site assembly and installation of the steel structures produced in Brande. Provided as an add-on to the steel supply contract, governed by separate "Sales and delivery conditions including assembly" or "Sales and delivery conditions excluding assembly" terms.
3. Engineering and BIM Design Services: BIM modelling and structural design services performed in-house and by the Polish office (Give Steel BIM & Structural Design) for projects across Northern Europe. Often bundled with steel supply but can be a stand-alone design service.

Core offering

Give Steel designs, engineers, fabricates and erects load-bearing steel structures — including steel frames, trusses, column-beam systems, facades and the proprietary GSY BEAM® composite floor system — for buildings and infrastructure projects across Northern Europe. All steel is produced at a single automated facility in Brande, Denmark (54,000 tonnes/year), with project delivery supplemented by an in-house BIM and structural design hub in Poland and optional on-site assembly.

Product overview

Give Steel is a Danish steel-structure manufacturer operating a single integrated offering centered on the design, fabrication and erection of load-bearing steel structures, rather than a multi-tenant software platform. The portfolio combines a core structural-steel delivery (Stålkonstruktioner) with a set of named sub-products: GSY BEAM® / CO2-Reduced GSY® integrated composite beams, Gitterspær trusses, Stålspær steel frames, and Søjle-bjælkekonstruktioner column-and-beam frames. Layered on top of this base offering are two thematic solutions: POD Performance Optimized Datacenter solutions, a modular prefabricated concept for hyperscale data centers, and a CO2-reduced steel (CO2-reduceret stål) material line supplied with verified EPDs. All sub-products share the same delivery backbone — Give Steel's own factories, BIM-based design services, and project execution — so the portfolio is best understood as one core product with branded variants rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.
