Power of steel

The highways that crisscross our country, the bridges that span our waterways, the buildings that punctuate our skylines – all thanks to steel.

Energy, construction, aeronautic, automotive, appliance, medicine, defense, manufacturing: steel is requisite to nearly every imaginable industry, all of which underpin the very fabric of our country and the health of our people.  

Magellan Corporation sources our materials from world-class producers and maintains substantial inventories in Chicago, Houston, and other strategic locations.

We know the power of steel.

We tore up the old specs and rewrote them in such a way that we could be globally competitive. I will always be grateful for the education you gave me during that process. And now, I can’t tell you how much our team appreciates everything you do for us.”
