The Mill Steel Difference: 60+ Years of Trust in a Changing Industry
In the ever-evolving world of metal construction, one thing remains constant: the need for a supplier you can count on. For over 60 years, Mill Steel Company has been delivering high-quality flat-rolled carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel products to customers nationwide. Our legacy is built on reliability, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to our customers.
A Foundation Built on Service and Integrity
Founded in 1959 by Harry Samrick, Mill Steel began with a simple vision: to build a company rooted in honesty, respect, and hard work. That vision remains at the heart of everything we do today. Now in its third generation of family ownership – and proudly certified as a women-owned business – Mill Steel has grown from a single warehouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to one of the nation’s largest steel service centers with seven distribution locations across North America.
Throughout our history, we've prioritized people – our customers, our associates, and our partners. That focus has earned us a reputation as a company that delivers on its promises and puts relationships first. We’ve built our business on the values of integrity, responsiveness, and follow-through – and those values continue to guide us as we serve customers across North America.
Supplying the Construction Industry with Confidence
Mill Steel is a trusted partner to the construction industry, offering a wide range of high-performance products tailored to the needs of builders, contractors, panel manufacturers, and fabricators. Our material is used in roofing and siding systems, structural framing, architectural components, and beyond.
We stock and process a robust selection of flat-rolled metal products, including:
- Hot-dip Galvanized and Galvalume® for superior corrosion resistance
- Pre-painted steel in a wide array of colors, coatings, and finishes suitable for exterior and interior building applications
- Cold Rolled and Hot Rolled steel for structural components and framing
- Aluminum sheet and coil, ideal for lightweight applications with excellent formability
- Stainless steel products for projects requiring durability, hygiene, or resistance to harsh environments
Our capabilities also extend to custom slitting, cut-to-length, embossing, and protective film application to ensure material arrives job-site ready. With strategically located processing and distribution centers – including facilities in Grand Rapids, Detroit, Jeffersonville, Mansfield, Birmingham, Houston, and Baltimore – we offer nationwide coverage and short lead times to keep your projects moving on schedule.
Quality That Goes Beyond the Product
At Mill Steel, quality means more than just product specifications. It’s a commitment to delivering consistency, accuracy, and care in every order. Our advanced processing lines and stringent quality controls ensure our materials meet the tight tolerances and aesthetic standards today’s metal building professionals require.
We understand the ripple effect that material issues can have on construction timelines and budgets. That’s why we take extra steps to ensure every coil, every cut, and every shipment meets your expectations. If material does not meet your expectations, we offer a swift and customer friendly claim process with a customer technical support team on hand to help – because your success is our priority.
