ABOUT US
Global Stainless Alliance (GSA) is a partnership forged between Dutch company Inoferro and Vietnam-based Midway Metals marine (100% Australian owned). GSA is synonymous with quality, capacity and reliability and is a pre-eminent supplier of stainless steel in the superyacht market.
The parties united in their shared vision in which a future shortage if technical personnel was foresseen and prevented thanks to a increasingly intensive 5-year international collaboration. Both companies bring their own expertise.
This has empowered GSA to become a robust, financially strong and technically savvy supplier, with over 22,000 m2 of work floor and more than 160 employees – a number that is still growing.
This unique and innovative collaboration has enabled both parties to cross-pollinate essential knowledge and know-how and to expand capacity and professionalisation. The oficial partnership marks the opening of a new chapter for both stainless steel suppliers in which large-scale projects with a shorter duration can be realised.

ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP
LEON BEKKERS
Leon Bekkers has owned Inoferro since 2016. He knows the company inside out and always strives for the best possible service, delivered reliably and realistically. As a young holiday worker, Leon came to Inoferro in 2009 through his father. From the moment he stepped onto the deck of his first superyacht, he fell in love with the luxury finished product that Inoferro delivers. He was invited to start immediately as a junior engineer and worked his way up step by step until he had the opportunity to take over the company in 2016 at the age of 26. During this time, he also met Anthony Jolly, in whom he found a like-minded strategic partner.
ANTHONY JOLLY
Anthony has been in the stainless steel business for a long time. His knowledge of stainless steel was passed down from father to son. Out of a desire to make his own mark, Anthony transferred to Midway Metals Marine. Since joining Midway in 1988, Anthony has been responsible for building the 2005 branch of the Australian company. The combination of craftsmanship with Australian direction and skill, provided great international growth for Midway Metals Marine. In Leon Bekkers of Inoferro, Anthony found a like-minded entrepreneur with a similar outlook on the superyacht market. This meeting resulted in a fruitful collaboration under the partnership GSA.
A GLOBAL ALLIANCE SINCE
WHAT WE DO
GSA is a one-stop shop in the field of stainless-steel products for superyacht construction. The entire process around stainless steel elements is carried out by GSA. From measuring to designing, from production to finishing, with installation and the final check as completion. GSA unburdens its customers on all fronts.
This project fully utilises the expertise of the collaborating GSA partners, combining Dutch craftsmanship and knowledge with Vietnamese technical expertise, accuracy and direct sourcing of raw materials at the mills. While Inoferro is primarily responsible for management, design, installation and production of specials, Midway Metals Marine focuses on the production process, finishing and production engineering.
