About Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co

Reliance, Inc. (NYSE: RS), formerly Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co., is a leading diversified metal solutions provider headquartered in the United States. Founded in 1939, the company has evolved from a traditional metals distributor into a highly scaled service-center platform built around processing, inventory management, logistics, and fast-turn delivery. Its long operating history and disciplined acquisition strategy have helped it become a core supplier to a wide range of industrial end markets.

The company serves customers across manufacturing, construction, energy, transportation, aerospace, semiconductor, and general industrial applications. Its product portfolio is broad, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, alloy steel, brass, copper, titanium, and specialty metals, offered in forms such as plate, sheet, bar, tube, beam, and structural shapes. This breadth is a key competitive advantage, allowing Reliance to act as a one-stop supplier for customers that value availability, turnaround time, and processing capability over pure commodity pricing.

At year-end 2024, Reliance operated approximately 320 locations across 41 U.S. states and 10 foreign countries, giving it one of the widest service-center networks in North America and a meaningful international reach. Management highlights that the platform supports more than 100,000 metal products and serves over 125,000 customers. Reliance’s competitive position is reinforced by its scale, local inventory density, and value-added processing capabilities, which help it win business even in uneven industrial demand environments.

In 2025, Reliance reported tons sold growth that outpaced the broader Metals Service Center Institute industry benchmark, indicating market-share gains. In February 2026, the company reported full-year 2025 net sales of $14.3 billion, record annual tons sold, stronger share repurchases, and another dividend increase. In March 2026, AMI Metals, a Reliance subsidiary, secured significant government infrastructure and defense projects, underscoring the company’s ongoing diversification across end markets. For investors following U.S.-listed industrial names, RS remains a high-quality NYSE-listed platform with strong cash generation, a diversified customer base, and a clear emphasis on capital returns.
