British Stainless Steel Association (BSSA)

BSSA promotes and develops the manufacture and use of stainless steel across the UK.

Based in Sheffield, it provides marketing support, technical advice, information, training and education in all aspects of stainless steel.

Originally formed as an association of stainless steel fabricators, the BSSA has steadily increased the scope and range of activities over the years. Its strength lies in the breadth of its membership drawn from companies in all sectors of the industry and at all stages of the supply chain. It is representative of a broad cross-section of UK Industry: from larger multinational companies to smaller, family owned enterprises.

The primary objective of the BSSA is to encourage the use of stainless steel in manufacturing and construction. The active involvement of members is encouraged through participation in forums and working groups dedicated to areas of specific interest.
