Reliance, Inc.

A metals service center buys metal from mills, then cuts, shapes, and delivers it to customers. Reliance, Inc. is the largest such company in North America, handling over 100,000 metal products for more than 125,000 customers. It was founded in 1939 in Los Angeles as Reliance Steel Products Company, making steel reinforcing bars for construction. In 2024 it dropped "Steel & Aluminum" from its name to signal it offers more than just those metals — a nod to its evolution from a small rebar fabricator.
