Admiral Metals

It’s Our People Who Deliver

Admiral Metals was founded in 1950 and is part of the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Family of Companies. That concept of “family” is at the very heart of the way Admiral has operated, extending to our many customers, suppliers, and longstanding employees.

We strive daily to provide the highest quality products and the best customer experience possible, every order, every day. Our enduring relationships with our metal suppliers mean we are able to deliver not only standard metal products but also hard to find items, with precise accuracy, on budget and on time, often overnight.

At Admiral, we take great pride in the people who work here, some for over 40 years. That kind of dedication and reliability is the driving force behind our Admiral Care Team, our crew of service professionals from administrative staff to credit specialists, from sales representatives to the pickers, loaders and the drivers — everyone at Admiral Metals delivering the very best in customer care.

Our family of customers, suppliers, and Admiral Care team; these relationships have been the cornerstone of Admiral’s success for more than 70 years, and it is the driving force that will lead us into the future.

Our History

The Burstein Family founded Admiral Metals in 1950. Fresh out of the Navy, Mac joined his older brothers who had built a successful scrap metal company, M. Burstein & Co. Mac went on to manage a new venture, Admiral Metals, which was a natural outgrowth, originally built on the solid relationships the Burstein family had established with area mills and longstanding customers. Over time, Admiral expanded from serving local companies with mainly red metals, to expanded products and service offerings like grinding, custom extrusions, and so many more.
