A legacy of quality and excellence

Kenwal Steel has deep roots in manufacturing, supplying the industry with the highest quality flat-rolled steel since its inception in 1947. The Detroit-born company was founded by Sol Eisenberg, whose belief that “Quality has no ceiling” still exemplifies our company values today.
