Triple-S Steel Holdings, Inc., Houston, has acquired Los Angeles-based Rolled Steel Products and E&E Steel. The two companies, founded in 1956 and under the ownership of the Alperson family since 1973, supply precision strip and flat-rolled products to a range of customers in Southern California. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We are very excited to continue to expand our coverage in California, especially in the Southern California specialty market. With this acquisition, we will be able to offer our customers a more extensive flat-rolled offering. My colleagues and I are proud to welcome the RSP team to our family,” said Gary Stein, CEO of Triple-S.
RSP will operate as part of Maas Hansen Steel, a Triple-S Steel Holdings division.
