Business profile

Updated

Reliance, Inc. buys metal from producers, processes it to customer specifications and distributes it through a network of metals service centers. It is not a steel mill or other metals producer. Its products include carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, alloy, copper, brass and specialty metals. The company was founded in 1939, and Karla R. Lewis is its president and chief executive officer.

A metals service center acts as an intermediary between mills and metal users. Reliance stocks standard sizes and grades, then cuts, levels, saws or otherwise processes the metal to fit an order. More complex services include machining and electropolishing. It generally processes metal into non-standard sizes only after receiving a customer’s specifications.
