North Shore Steel Completes Brand Integration of Ford Steel Operations

Ford Steel's St. Louis, Missouri operations have operated within the North Shore Steel portfolio since it was acquired in 2019. The brand alignment reflects the next phase of integration, consolidating capabilities across plate processing, structural distribution, and value-added fabrication services. The unified organization strengthens North Shore Steel's position in wear-resistant and specialty alloy markets, including its established Wearalloy® and Mangalloy® product lines, while expanding production capacity and streamlining customer engagement.

"This integration allows us to operate more efficiently as one organization while preserving the expertise and relationships built over decades," said Byron Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of North Shore Steel. "By aligning under a single brand, we strengthen our ability to support complex, multi-division projects nationwide." North Shore Steel will continue servicing Ford Steel customers through existing teams and facilities. The integration does not impact current contracts or service commitments.

With more than 70 years of North Shore Steel history and more than 80 years of Ford Steel legacy, the combined organization continues to serve customers across construction, energy, heavy equipment, mining, quarrying, aggregate and industrial markets. The company maintains its online presence at https://www.nssco.com where customers can access information about integrated services and product lines.
