Triple-S Steel Holdings has acquired West Coast steel products distributor Borrmann Metals Co.
The deal includes Borrmann Metals’ assets in Burbank and Riverside, Calif., and in the Phoenix area. The company was previously a subsidiary of Contractors Steel Co.
Further terms were not disclosed.
“We are excited to welcome the Borrmann business into the Triple-S family,” said Gary Stein, CEO of Triple-S.
Stein said Borrmann’s location and services are “highly complementary” to Triple-S Steel’s Intsel Steel West and Maas-Hansen businesses.
“We will put the needed investment in equipment, inventory, and technology into the operations to take advantage of these opportunities we see in the West,” he added.
A West Coast steel distributor, Borrmann Metals stocks plate, pipe and tube, merchant bar, and non-ferrous products.

Sheppard Mullin served as legal advisor, and Montrose Advisors served as financial advisor to Triple-S in this transaction.
