The company was founded in 1969 by Frank Allen and his sons, Robert and Howard. Midland Steel started
on modest means in a rented building of 5,000 square footage in the
Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. In 1974 the rapidly expanding
company bought an industrial building at 1120 Leggett Ave in the
Hunts Point section of the South Bronx. Today that building which is
over 75,000 square feet, is still the hub of Midland Steel's
operation. In 1985 the company nearly doubled its facilities by purchasing
an additional 50,000 square foot building around the corner.
The 90's
witnessed the joining of a third generation of members of the Allen Family in various capacities. The core of our customer base has
always been the Northeast region. That base has
expanded and now reaches as far west as Ohio and covers the
entire Eastern Seaboard from New England to Florida. Today more than
ever Midland Steel continues to deliver a high level of service that
our customers have grown to expect from a company that has been in the
industry for over 40 years.
