Blair Strip Steel Company

Blair Strip Steel was founded in 1923 by George D. Blair. In the decades since, precision processing of heavy gauge cold rolled strip steel has remained our specialty. By focusing on what we do best, we maintain state-of-the-art facilities that provide world class quality and reliable performance year after year.
Blair operates a 155,000 square foot cold mill in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Production facilities include three precision cold rolling tandem mills capable of rolling strip in thicknesses .040' thru .750' (1 mm - 19 mm) with precision tolerances in widths up to 21 1/2 inches (546 mm). Blair has both pure hydrogen and HNX gas batch annealing facilities. Coils up to 72' OD (1829 mm) can be finished to width utilizing our two slitters or to ordered lengths utilizing our 27' wide (686 mm) shear line.

Blair Strip Steel continues to expand our focus on the material and service needs of the heavy gauge stamping and fineblanking industries. In order to earn and support this growth, we offer the following:

• State-of-the-art annealing facilities to insure the softest properties, fully-spheroidized material;
• A full range of steel grades - low carbon, high carbon, alloy, HSLA, electromagnetic iron and custom grades;
• A full range of thicknesses - applications from .040' to .625' thick;
• The shortest production lead times in the industry - our nimble size, flexible operations and broad raw material inventory make us quicker than anyone for emergency requirements;
• Annual programs, blanket orders and forecasts ensure the quality benefits of heat lot sourcing and dedicated inventories of hot bands in-stock insure 100% on-time deliveries;
• Our experience and metallurgical expertise help design steel for intricate applications and provide solutions to your metalworking challenges.

Services

Blair produces a wide range of steel in low carbon, high carbon, HSLA and alloy grades. Rolling, annealing and tempering processes create steels in the annealed, intermediate temper and as-rolled condition in order to facilitate the various stamping, forming, drawing, and fineblanking operations our customers perform. Strip coils can be finished by slitting to width or shearing to cut lengths.
