Borrmann Metal Co.

Borrmann Metals has been family owned and operated since being founded in 1919 by Mr. and Mrs. George R. Borrmann. Starting out as a small operation in Oakland, CA called the Borrmann Steel Company, it quickly grew to be one of the largest steel distributors in the business.

Throughout the years, many things changed including a relocation to Los Angeles, CA, a second branch in Riverside, CA and an expansion of inventory which inspired the name change to Borrmann Metals. One thing that didn’t change was the Borrmann’s commitment to quality service and material.

Our Mission is to create and maintain a positive and ethical environment in which quality employees develop efficient and economical methods to purchase from responsible suppliers … to warehouse, market and timely deliver quality metal products.

History :

George and Jane Borrmann have been pioneers in metal warehousing, sales and distribution on the west coast since 1919. Always an innovator, it was George Borrmann who invented and patented unique racks for steel bar angle, channel and pipe stock that is still in use today. He also originated the idea of Federal Deposit Insurance for bank deposits (FDIC). His dedication, business sense and resourcefulness were qualities that formed a solid foundation for the company.

A native of Texas where she matriculated at the University of Texas, Mrs. Borrmann has always been actively involved in the company so that when George Borrmann died in 1973, the company was able to continue uninterrupted operation under her leadership and guidance. Mrs. Borrmann has represented the U.S. Steel industry at various national and international functions such as the Belgian World Steel Service Center Convention.

Always active in cultural, civic and charitable endeavors, Mrs. Borrmann has served as chapter president of the Navy League of the United States. She is also a life member of the Mary and Joseph League, and “The Muses”, the support group of the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry.

Today Borrmann Metals remains a model for metal service centers everywhere. The next generation now owns and operates Borrmann, maintaining the same quality, integrity, and service established by its founders.
