Steelbay GmbH is the company that runs steelbay.net, an online marketplace for steel products. The company is a competitor of industry projects like Steel 24-7, the joint trading platform of ThyssenKrupp, Arcelor and Mittal Steel and other, smaller websites.

The website is popular especially in Asia (India, Pakistan, China). Today (February 2008) it is the most busy internet steel marketplace that is not linked to any steel producer. The company is based in Dortmund, Germany - a region that has a long tradition in coal mining, steel production and other heavy industries.
