The chief executives at Worthington Steel and Kloeckner Metals weren’t coy about hitting aggressive near-term financial targets in their fireside chat at the Tampa Steel Conference last week.
SMU interviews Worthington Steel CEO Geoff Gilmore about the recent Kloeckner & Co. buy.
Worthington Steel has announced it will acquire Germany's Kloeckner & Co, creating second-largest steel service company in North America.
Kloeckner Metals Corp. announced that beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the former Bauer Built Manufacturing site in Paton, Iowa, would lead all its commercial, manufacturing, and other operational activities.
The Mississauga, Ontario-based metals distributor is now the owner of Kloeckner's facilities in Dubuque, Iowa; Charlotte, N.C.; Suwanee, Ga.; Houston; Austin, Texas; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Pompano Beach, Fla.
Worthington Steel is in talks to possibly take over German-based service center chain Klöckner & Co. SE, both companies have confirmed.
North America continues to anchor Klöckner & Co.’s performance in 2025. The Kloeckner Metals Americas segment delivered robust earnings in the third quarter despite softer steel prices.
The seven facilities Russel agreed to purchase are located in Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Florida.
German service center Klöckner and Co. has agreed to sell seven of its US locations to Canadian service center Russel Metals Inc. for approximately $119 million, the companies said in press releases on Sunday.
Germany’s Klöckner & Co. reported a narrower loss in the first quarter as the company targets becoming the “leading” service center and metal processing firm in North America and Europe by 2030.
Klöckner & Co. swung to a loss in the second quarter on-year, as the company expects a slip in sales for full-year 2024 because of the drop in steel prices.
Klöckner & Co. said it has agreed to acquire South Carolina-based fabricator Industrial Manufacturing Services (IMS) through US subsidiary Kloeckner Metals Corp.(KMC).
Klöckner & Co. reported a positive cash flow in its latest earnings release. Despite a tough economic climate, it is leaning on its strengths to weather a moderately unfavorable outlook.
Kloeckner Metals Corp. has completed the acquisition of National Material of Mexico.
