110RFQs/Month
30%Export Inquiry Lift
25%New Regional Buyers

Industry Context & Client Background – This established steel manufacturer had grown entirely through dealer relationships and trade fairs with no digital presence beyond a basic website. When key dealer relationships became uncertain, the company had no independent ability to attract new industrial buyers digitally.

⚠️ The Core Challenge

Complete digital invisibility

Procurement managers searching for steel suppliers would not find this company anywhere online.

100% dealer dependency

All business was filtered through dealers who controlled buyer relationships and compressed margins.

No LinkedIn presence

Senior procurement managers and plant heads - the exact decision-makers needed - were not being reached.

Missing export opportunity

Export-quality product existed but zero digital infrastructure to reach international buyers.

⚙️ How Magicworks Solved It
