What kind of a company is Reliance?
Founded in 1939, Reliance, Inc. is a leading global diversified metal solutions provider and the largest metals service center company in North America. Through a network of approximately 310 locations in 41 states and 10 countries outside of the United States, Reliance provides value-added metals processing services and distributes a full-line of over 100,000 metal products to more than 125,000 customers in a broad range of industries. Reliance focuses on small orders with quick turnaround and value-added processing services.
What is a metals service center?
Metals service centers acquire carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, alloy, and other metal products from mills and then process and distribute these materials to meet customer specifications.
Customers purchase from metals service centers for a variety of reasons, including the ability to obtain value-added metals processing services, readily available inventory, reliable and timely delivery, flexible minimum order size, and quality control. Many customers deal exclusively with service centers because the quantities of metal products that they purchase are smaller than the minimum order sizes specified by mills or because those customers require intermittent deliveries over long or irregular periods.
Buying from a metals service center helps reduce customers’ manufacturing costs by saving significant time, labor, and expense, because service centers purchase, process, and deliver metals in a more efficient manner than the end-use could achieve by dealing directly with the mill.
