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:

• Stability – All decisions made are measured in years, not quarters.
• Flexibility – Employees are encouraged to seek creative steel solutions and services that help the company thrive.
• Chemistry – We foster and nurture an entrepreneurial spirit throughout the Triple-S family.

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. All our trucks are 2015 or newer.
