About Ryerson

Ryerson processes and distributes industrial metal products, working through subsidiaries that reach customers across the United States and in international markets. Its stock includes carbon, stainless and alloy steels alongside aluminum, nickel and red metals, supplied in forms such as coils, sheets, plates, bars of various shapes, structural pieces and tubing. Beyond supplying raw material, the company performs value-added processing on these metals before they reach buyers.

Customers come from a wide spread of industries, including commercial transportation, welding and fabrication, machinery and equipment manufacturing, consumer goods, heavy equipment, climate control systems, power generation, and machine shops that need specialized metal inputs. This mix of configurations and processing work allows Ryerson to serve buyers with differing material and fabrication needs rather than a single type of end use.

The company traces its founding to 1842 and runs its headquarters out of Chicago, Illinois. Ryerson shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker RYZ.
