Do you Yellowpages?

http://www.yellowpages.com.au/search/postCategorySearch.do?headingCode=30368&sortByClosestMatch=false&sortByDetail=true&currentLetter=&sortByAlphabetical=false&businessType=stainless+steel+&sortByDistance=false&locationClue=ACT&locationText=Australian+Capital+Territory&stateId=6&safeLocationClue=ACT

The Open Directory Project / Yahoo! are probably better tools than Google
for your type of query.

Regards,

Edward.
