The Innovative Trio

The inspiration behind Tampa Steel & Supply began over 40 years ago. Original owners Herb Wax and brothers Mark Goldman and Bruce Goldman met while attending the University of South Florida and decided to start their own scrap yard after graduation. The Florida natives worked together and created Scrap-All Inc. in Tampa in 1973. The trio had many customers interested in buying pieces of scrap metal and the like for projects and they sought to meet this growing demand. As more customers were looking for steel, Bruce was inspired to open another division of Scrap-All Inc. for steel and surplus material from purchases and sales. This is how Tampa Steel & Supply was born.

The Growth of Tampa Steel & Supply

Tampa Steel & Supply and Scrap-All Inc. sat on the same property, which gave customers access to a myriad of steel products and accessories. As Tampa Steel & Supply continued to serve the steel needs of the community, the business began to grow. Soon, Tampa Steel & Supply outgrew the shared property and relocated to its own warehouse and yard right behind Scrap-All Inc. By being in close proximity to Scrap-All Inc., Tampa Steel & Supply had access to an extensive stock of surplus materials and scrap metals that made buying products convenient for customers. The notion that steel products in any form can be used and reused is what has helped to shape Tampa Steel & Supply into the business it is today.

Upon moving to the new location, Tampa Steel & Supply extended their repertoire by adding new steel and ornamental items as the company continued to prosper and grow. Now more than 30 years since opening, Tampa Steel & Supply is still family owned and operated and has grown into a full-line steel service center that serves the needs of customers far and wide.
