Reinforcing the Foundations of Australia Since 1920

About us

The Australian Reinforcing Company (ARC) is a leading manufacturer and supplier of steel reinforcing in Australia. Our aim is to make it safe, fast and simple for our customers and suppliers to partner with us.  With manufacturing facilities across the East Coast and a vast metro and regional branch network across Australia, we can supply all your reinforcing needs.  Originating from the British Reinforcing Company (BRC), ARC was established in Sunshine Victoria in 1920 as the first Australian reinforcing company.  Our company name began as A.R.C that year and, though it has changed throughout the years, we returned to the name of our roots 10 years ago as the Australian Reinforcing Company.  Over the last 100 years, we have consistently been an integral part of construction in Australia. Whilst our owners have changed, our products haven't. We will continue to supply Australian made steel products, from Australian steel mills.

  • Why do we stop for R U OK? day 👷🏼🦺💬 In the construction industry, we all know the pressures of tight deadlines and high-stress environments. These can take a toll, leaving some of us feeling disconnected at times. But sometimes, a simple, genuine conversation can make all the difference for someone who’s struggling. It’s something we can all do to help a mate or colleague feel supported and seen. If taking just five minutes today sparks even one more conversation, that’s enough. Because one conversation can save a life.

  • Last Friday, we had the privilege of attending the Queensland Building Women Awards with the Housing Industry Association (HIA). As proud members of HIA for 10 years, we’re committed to supporting their efforts in driving positive change across the industry. It was a great day celebrating the remarkable achievements of women in Queensland. A highlight of the event was our own Merryl Nevison presenting the Business Development Professional award to valued customer, Melissa Wolfe from Plantation Homes, as award partners. “Without the contribution of skilled and dedicated women, the home building industry simply does not function, and our winners this year clearly demonstrate the high value that women are bringing to the table,” Mr. Roberts, HIA Executive Director - Queensland. Congratulations to Melissa and all the incredible winners who are helping to shape the future of construction!

Today, she leads a team of 34 people who describe her as an iconic figurehead with extensive experience and contagious energy. Over the years, she has driven process improvements both in Queensland and nationally, sharing her expertise across the broader business. Her advice that she would give her 1982 self starting out in this industry? "If you find yourself in a room full of people, try to focus on the fact that everyone is there for a reason. Engage in conversations, be yourself, and don't be afraid to contribute your thoughts and ideas. Remember, everyone is just a person, and you have every right to be present and valued in any situation."
