THE METALS SUPPLY CHAIN

A Storied Tradition

For more than 100 years, our members have been at the core of North America’s manufacturing sector, initially acquiring bundles of metal from mills or other merchants, unbundling the sheets, plates, bars, tubes and scrap and selling smaller quantities to fabricators who could be reached within range of a horse drawn cart. Now greater productivity and efficiency and global economic challenges are transforming service centers into high-tech, internationally competitive companies supporting modern manufacturing.
