Over the past 30 years, SteelMart has grown to $133 million in sales, 170 employees and 80,000,000 pounds of steel processed annually, 300,000 pounds processed daily, and 19,000 pounds processed hourly. While the numbers have changed, our commitment to people remains the secret to our success.
You have options for where you can get the steel you need. We know that. That’s why we focus on making the experience easy, convenient, and affordable.
The passion that ignited us to start SteelMart nearly 30 year ago still drives us today. And now our team of 130 dedicated employees feel it too.
