Contractors Steel Buys Borrmann Metal Center

Written by Sandy Williams


Contractors Steel Company, a Midwest-based service center operated under UPG Enterprises, has acquired family-owned Borrmann Metal Center, a light structural and specialty metal service center based in the Los Angeles area. Borrmann has two California locations with more than 200,000 square feet of warehouse space and a fleet of 15 trucks. Borrmann offers a wide selection of metal products, including carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel and specialty alloys.

“The acquisition of Borrmann represents a significant milestone for Contractors Steel and UPG,” said Steve Letnich, Chief Operating Officer of Contractors Steel. “Not only does Borrmann expand our footprint into the West Coast and Southwest markets, but also serves as a perfect complement to our existing Phoenix facility—creating a singular network of inventory, value-added processing and logistics. Together with Borrmann, Contractors Steel will now offer a wider range of heavy structural and metal products to better serve customers in the greater Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix and surrounding markets. Our entire UPG and Contractors Steel family looks forward to working with our new teammates to profitably grow our southwestern business.”

Contractors Steel Company services steel users throughout the Midwest and Canada providing a diverse inventory of structural steel products and processing. The company has locations in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Chicago and Phoenix.
