Overview

About Us

Arbor/Metals Inc., a sister company of Triple-S Steel, provides the highest quality Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Nickel Alloys, Titanium, Copper-Nickel, or other specialty metals in stock sizes or processed to your specifications using our in-house equipment. Most of our processing, such as sawing, shearing and computer-controlled burning of circles, rings or custom shapes is performed by our highly experienced operators. Our commitment to customer service makes Arbor/Metals Inc. an unmatched provider of processed parts. 

In addition, Arbor/Metals Inc. also provides products to the PFF (Pipe, Fittings, & Flanges) industry. This is natural for us, as this product line is complimentary to the Flat Products we provide to the Energy, Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and other industrial markets. We have become a "One-Stop" source that can handle all your inquiries and orders. In 2022, we acquired Hillman Brass & Copper, which specializes in copper-based alloys, adding new capabilities to our product line and helping expand our position in the non-ferrous markets for industry and government-related projects.
