Company
A Leader in the Metal Distribution Industry
Valley Iron is known as a metal service center with a long history and a solid reputation. Our customers know us as their trusted source of consistently high-quality Carbon, Stainless Steel and Aluminum products and exceptional customer service.
Valley Iron is a family-owned business focused on customer service and satisfaction. As a result, we have grown to be one of California’s largest metal distribution centers offering metal products in every conceivable form, from structural steel tubing to stainless sheet metal to extruded aluminum shapes and more, along with a broad range of processing services.
Valley Iron serves a broad customer base, from individuals with backyard projects to large commercial construction firms, agricultural equipment manufacturers, food processors and a wide range of OEMs.
Service is at the heart of everything we do at Valley Iron — we invite you to experience it for yourself. We offer next-day delivery on all orders called in by close of business each day; we will deliver your material on our own fleet of trucks; and we also offer will-call pickup.
Our business philosophy since 1958 has been simple: our product is secondary to the service we provide each and every customer. We reinvest in our business and strive to implement change whenever it helps us work smarter. Our employees are the foundation of our success, and it is the combined efforts of management and staff that keep Valley Iron a leader in the metal distribution industry.
