Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'steel' (the material) + 'company' (an organization that sells products) yields a company that makes or sells steel, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE. This noun+company pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows regular English compounding, making the expression immediately predictable.
Etymology
Steel company shows a simple picture: a factory where hot, glowing steel is poured and shaped by the people of a company. That's why it means 'a company that makes and sells steel products'.
