Carbon Steel
Strong and low-cost, carbon steel is the #1 choice for structural and light fabrication, machined parts, truck/trailer manufacturing, maintenance, and capital projects, as well as metal furniture and concrete reinforcement, among many other uses.
Aluminum
Lighter and softer than carbon steel, aluminum is frequently used for maintenance, manufactured parts, trailer skins, light fabrication, and other projects that require maximum strength, low weight, and/or corrosion resistance.
Stainless Steel
Frequently used for light
manufacturing and manufactured parts, stainless steel also is the ideal product for mechanical contractors serving healthcare providers, meat processing plants, breweries, and other sanitation-conscious industries. It is strong, corrosion-resistant, and easily sterilized.
