Central Steel & Wire, a subsidiary of Ryerson Holding Corp., has signed a lease for a 900,000-square-foot service center facility in University Park, Ill., that will become CSW’s headquarters and operational hub. Strategically located just south of Chicago, the build-to-suit facility will allow the company to cover a broad geographical area.
“This new facility represents an opportunity to modernize and grow our business, underscoring our commitment to the CS&W brand that is proudly more than 110 years in the making and continuing to prosper because of the unwavering support of our customers and my CS&W colleagues,” said CS&W President Jack Barger.
Ryerson is a leading value-added processor and distributor of industrial metals, with operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and China. Founded in 1842, Ryerson has around 3,900 employees in approximately 100 locations. Ryerson acquired CS&W in 2018.
