Our Mission Statement

South St. Paul Steel Supply Co. procures, stock holds, processes and distributes quality steel and alloy products and procures subcontracting services that meet the expectations of our customers. When and where they need it.

Established in 1904 by ancestors of the Berg family, the company supplied steel and metal related products to local fabricators in St. Paul, Minnesota. They continually expanded their products and acquired services to meet the growing needs of their customers.

In 1954 the company was named St. Paul Steel Company, based on a strong work ethic and the philosophy of providing absolute, full customer service. The company was relocated to a larger facility in St. Paul to accommodate its expanding product base and services.

David A. Berg became the fourth generation to enter the family business in 1966 and began developing his hands on knowledge and experience throughout all aspects of the operation. Inspired by the legacy of hard work, dedication and family he was motivated to continue the company's tradition on continuous growth and service capabilities. In 1975 he became the company's president.

While adhering to traditional customer orientated principles, David brought the company into the modern era of steel distribution by building a state of the art steel service center in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The facility was completed in 1992 and the company's name was changed to South St. Paul Steel Supply Co., Inc.

On December 21, 1998, South St. Paul Steel Co. successfully obtained ISO 9002:1994 certification from the accredited quality / environmental certification body ISOQAR. Today the tradition of continuous growth and service capabilities continues along with the commitment to provide absolute, full customer service.
