Company Description

Worthington Steel, Inc. processes carbon flat-rolled steel and manufactures value-added steel products for customers that require material finished to specific dimensions, shapes and surface characteristics. The company buys coils of steel from primary steel producers and processes those coils to meet customer specifications for type, thickness, length, width, shape and surface quality. Its common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol WS.

The company’s core operating activities center on steel processing rather than primary steelmaking. Worthington Steel’s product lines and capabilities include carbon flat-rolled steel processing, electrical steel laminations and tailor welded products. The company also describes its value-added processing capabilities as including galvanizing, pickling, configured blanking, specialty cold reduction, lightweighting and electrical lamination. These processes convert purchased steel coils into forms used by customers that need material with defined physical, dimensional and surface properties.

Worthington Steel’s operations include a manufacturing footprint in the United States and international markets, including Canada, Mexico, China, India and Germany. The company generates most of its revenue in the United States, with additional revenue from Canada, Mexico and other regions. Its operating model depends on the purchase of steel coils, processing capacity, customer specifications and the delivery of finished or semi-finished steel products into downstream manufacturing and industrial supply chains.

The company is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, and is incorporated in Ohio. Public-company disclosures identify Worthington Steel’s registered security as common shares, without par value, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Its recurring corporate disclosures cover operating results, dividends, material agreements, governance matters and shareholder votes.
