National Material L.P. has a long history of quality and service dating back to 1964. Since its founding, National Material has grown to over 20 companies and is now one of the largest privately owned companies in America. The National Material group of industrial businesses consists of the Steel Group, Stainless / Alloys Group, Raw Material Trading Group, Aluminum Group, and Related Operations. National Material L.P. and its affiliates (“NMLP”) are leaders in each of their core businesses. NMLP’s record of growth since 1964 has been achieved by leveraging our specific niches of expertise to develop new products, services and processing; and through the selective and opportunistic acquisitions of related businesses to meet the needs of our customers and markets. This strategy has allowed us to grow consistently and profitably into new markets while limiting our exposure. The breadth and depth of our metal related businesses allow us to offer our customers an unparalleled array of products and services from a single vendor. NMLP continually looks for opportunities, both domestically and internationally. Today, we have locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and China. Additionally, NMLP does business in South America, Europe, Russia and the Far East. As global markets open up, NMLP wants to be strategically positioned to provide its customers with a quality and timely product. Markets served include: Automotive, Agriculture, Aerospace, Heavy Truck, Electrical Energy, Steel Mill and Foundry, Defense, Construction, Industrial Equipment, and Appliance.
