Overview

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

At Triple-S Steel, we live and work by our core values. Since our inception over 50 years ago, we have followed three basic principles that are the foundation of our success:

From a small family retail operation in Houston, our business has expanded across the US and South America to sell over 1 million tons per year. We supply steel for bridges, stadiums, barges, and large buildings, but one thing will always remain the same: We treat our customers and employees like family.
