Since the company's founding in 1909, our business has been and will continue to fulfill the metal needs and related service requirements of the industrial metal consumers we are privileged to serve.
In 2018, Central Steel & Wire became part of the Ryerson Family of Companies, joining many industry-leading brands to help serve all the metal needs of customers around the globe.
Eddie Lehner, Ryerson’s President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The inclusion of Central Steel & Wire into the Ryerson family of highly valued industrial metal distribution and processing companies enhances Ryerson’s ability in providing great customer experiences. The expansion of our long, tube, and plate portfolio through this acquisition makes our combined commercial, operational, product, and processing strengths that much more valuable to the customers of both Central Steel & Wire and Ryerson.”
That investment into Central Steel & Wire’s future is evident in the new 900,000-square-foot state-of-the-art service center facility and headquarters located in University Park, IL. This facility opened its doors in 2023, featuring expanded bar and tube processing equipment.
