Tube City IMS

Tube City IMS, LLC is the largest provider of outsourced services to steel mills in North America and one of the largest globally. Contrary to our name, we do not make or sell steel tubes, but rather are an integral part in virtually every other stage of the steel making process. We are a mill services company that offers a variety of non-core services to steel mills, mini-mills and foundries, from scrap management and recycling, to raw materials procurement, slag processing, metal recovery, surface conditioning and a proprietary scrap optimization model. Our services enable our customers to generate cost savings through operational efficiencies while focusing on their core steel production processes.

Tube City was founded in 1926 as a scrap iron and metal dealer in McKeesport, PA. At the time, McKeesport was home to the largest pipe and tube mill in the world. McKeesport was nicknamed "The Tube City," and it was only natural to name the Company Tube City Iron & Metal. In 1928, the Company moved to Glassport, PA, which remains the location of our Corporate Headquarters.IMS traces its roots to a company that began operating a sand and gravel pit in the Cleveland, OH, area in 1936 which later expanded its operations into slag processing and metal recovery. Over the years, IMS broadened its services to those offered today. In October 2004, the parent company of IMS was sold to Wellspring Capital Partners III, L.P. In December 2004, Tube City and IMS were combined to create one of the world's leading outsourced steel services organizations, and, as a result, Tube City IMS Company changed its name to Tube City IMS.
