A lot of things have changed since Wayne Self decided to open a small, family-owned business in Cartersville, Georgia in 1987. In the beginning, we were a one-man shop in a small building off of the beaten path. Cell phones did not exist, our equipment did not have computers, and all business deals were sealed with a handshake - all signs of a simpler time.

Over the years, technology has allowed us to expand and become more efficient. Our building is 4x the size, and our team is comprised of 25 incredibly talented individuals. We have been blessed enough to be able to serve our community while growing our business. We attribute this to our core beliefs – customer service and satisfaction. Our goal is to ensure doing business with Steel Materials is a pleasure, not added stress to your project. And though the industry sometimes requires a contract, we still like to finish a deal with a handshake.

Fabrication

Fabrication has been our specialty since the day we opened our doors. It is a little cliché, but we honestly believe that if you can dream it, we can build it. Bringing your custom projects to life is not only our specialty, but it is our passion. From spiral stair cases to hand rails and platforms to any ornamental ironwork - custom is what we do.

Metal Sales

Service that exceeds our customer’s expectations is a top priority here at Steel Materials; we keep trained staff on stand-by to complete your order as fast as possible. We stock a wide range of steel, aluminum and some stainless steel. As a large metal distributer, we can locate that hard to find piece. If its available, we can normally get next day.

Production

If your job requires multiple quantities, precision welding, or advanced cutting methods, our production department can meet your needs. With this departments focus being on multiple parts and tight tolerances, we have the skill set and equipment to bring a project from concept to finished product.

The process begins with our design team working closely with our customers to establish a production plan and help lay the foundation for the project. Using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, we can turn an idea or existing part into a model allowing the customer to visualize the part and foresee any difficulties ahead.

Using our advanced cutting techniques such as the Water Jet, or CNC Plasma Cutter, we are able to produce very accurate parts in a timely manner from a variety of materials. As for welding, our production team is highly skilled in MIG and TIG welding on a variety of materials in any thickness.

Powder Coating

Powder coating is well known throughout the industry for its durability, but most don’t know how attractive a powder coated finish can look, or how often it is used. Powder coated products are all around us from heavy equipment, ornamental iron, to everyday house hold items.

If your product must last and look professional, it needs to be powder coated. Steel Materials is capable of powder coating items from as small as ¼” bolts to large car frames. We keep a well-trained staff, multiple spray booths, two large ovens, and in-house sandblasting to keep turnaround time as short as possible.Steel Materials does offer a powder coating production line for large quantities.
