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.

A. Finkl & Sons Co. was founded in 1879 when German immigrant Anton Finkl developed a new kind of chisel to clean bricks from buildings destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire. In 1902, A. Finkl & Sons Co. moved to its present location on Chicago's Near North Side. From its simple beginnings, Finkl is now the world's leading supplier of forging die steels, plastic mold steels, die casting tool steels and custom open-die forgings, processing 100,000 tons of steel each year. Since the 1800s, Finkl has maintained a commitment to manufacture 100 percent of its products in Chicago. These products are distributed domestically and to more than 18 countries worldwide. Most people, however, will never come face-to-face with a Finkl product. Why? Because for the most part, we sell our products to other manufacturers -- plastic processors, die casting companies and closed-die forging plants -- who use Finkl steel in their manufacturing operations. Only when the ultimate in strength and durability is required, such as in large mining equipment, does Finkl steel become part of a finished product. With more than 100 patents to its credit, Finkl's steel formulations and steelmaking technologies set worldwide standards. Finkl's facilities are on the leading edge of technology, using the most automated processes in the world. In recognition of Finkl's product quality, Finkl was the first integrated steel manufacturer in America to receive ISO 9000 certification.
