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. That spirit permeates our DNA.

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. One thing will always remain the same: We treat our customers and employees like family.
