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.

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.
