History[]

The company was founded in 1915 by Jacob Feldman as a scrap trading company. In 1994, it acquired Owen Steel Company in an $87 million transaction.[2]

In 2002, the company sold its heavy structural fabrication assets of SMI-Owen Steel, resulting in $20 million of proceeds.[3] In June 2011, the company acquired G.A.M. Steel Pty. Ltd, based in Melbourne, Australia.[4]

In November 2011, Carl Icahn offered to buy the company for $15 per share,[5] which the company rejected the following month.[6] By January 2012, Icahn withdrew the offer for lack of shareholder support.[7]

In October 2016, it acquired the steel fabrication business of Associated Steel Workers, Limited.[8]

In August 2017, the company sold its CMC Cometals Division for $179 million.[9]

In November 2018, the company acquired assets from Gerdau.[10]
