Company Overview


Company: Worthington Industries, Inc.
Industry: Steel Service Centers
Website: http://www.worthingtonindustries.com

At least when it comes to steel, Worthington Industries may be considered a shape-shifter. One of the largest steel processors in the US, Worthington Industries shapes and processes flat-rolled steel for industrial customers, including automotive, appliance, and machinery companies. The company also forms flat-rolled steel to exact customer specifications, filling a niche not usually served by steelmakers and steel service centers with limited processing capabilities. Worthington's subsidiaries make products such as pressure cylinders, metal framing, and automotive panels. Through joint ventures, the company also makes steel products such as metal ceiling grid systems and laser-welded blanks.
