Lysaght

What Lysaght does

Lysaght (来实) is the metal building systems brand of BlueScope Steel Limited (ASX: BSL), an Australian-listed steel manufacturer. The China operations are conducted through Lysaght Building Systems (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (来实建筑系统（上海）有限公司), a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in Shanghai with 251-500 employees. Lysaght designs, manufactures, and supplies complete metal building systems — roofing, wall cladding, structural decking, and accessory products — for industrial plants, public infrastructure, power stations, high-rise buildings, residential developments, and green building projects across China. The company has completed over 6,000 projects in China since entering the market in 1979, serving enterprise and government clients including Tesla, Shanghai Volkswagen, Huawei, Michelin (Shenyang), LEGO Logistics (Tianjin), Northern Power stations, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, the Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Yanqi Lake International Conference Center (APEC 2014 / Belt & Road Forum 2017). Major industry awards include multiple Lu Ban Awards, Jin Yu Awards, and Jin Gang Awards — the highest tiers of Chinese construction industry recognition.

Lysaght's technical platform is anchored by proprietary substrate technologies: ZINCALUME M steel (53% aluminum, 43% zinc, 2% magnesium, 1.5% silicon alloy coating) delivering up to four times the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel, and Clean COLORBOND M steel with Thermatech solar-reflection pre-painted coating. The product family comprises registered roofing systems (KLIP-LOK 700 concealed-fixed cladding, FLEX-LOK standing seam, SEAM-LOK 32/65/75, FLAT-LOK, B-36 structural deck), wall systems (CUSTOM ORB, CUSTOM BLUE ORB, SMARTCLAD open joint, MINI ORB, MC多肋, PRESTIGE, PANELRIB MAXIMA, GOLDLINK, TRIMDEK series, RIBWALL), structural systems (2W/3W-DEK composite decking, BONDEK II, purlins and girts), decoration and accessory systems (AIRFLOW daylighting/smoke vent, siphonic drainage, fall prevention, ice/snow solutions, decorative aluminum panels), and raw materials in stainless steel, aluminum-magnesium-manganese, and titanium-zinc. On-site roll-forming and containerized production equipment support large-span installations. Manufacturing is conducted at three domestic facilities: Shanghai (production base since 1994), Suzhou (BlueScope coated coil plant with AUD$280M investment, 2006), and Xi'an (China's first Three-Star green plant, 2013).

The business model is a sales-led, project-based B2B enterprise field sales motion. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public list pricing. Lysaght engages project owners, architects, design institutes, and general contractors directly through regional sales offices in Shanghai (headquarters), Guangzhou, and Beijing, supported by technical seminars (e.g., the November 2020 Xi'an seminar with 80+ design-institute attendees), the annual BlueScope China Innovation Symposium, project case-study marketing (the "Art Gallery"), and WeChat content distribution. Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts spanning the full building envelope — raw substrates, roof/wall/structural systems, accessories, and on-site installation guidance. Compliance is anchored by FM Approvals, multiple ISO certifications, JIS Z2801 antimicrobial conformance for healthcare/food/pharma environments, and Class 1/2 fire endurance certification per GB50016-2014.
