About Us
Promet Steel was founded in 1995 by two steel industry veterans, Chicago natives Nick Laphen and Rodney Egle. Beginning in East Chicago, Indiana with just a small warehouse and a single piece of equipment, Promet Steel has since grown into a multi-facility steel service center with over 70 employees and an extensive inventory of direct mill-sourced prime and excess-prime steel coil products.
In 2000, Promet increased its footprint within the industry with the expansion to our current 55,000-square-foot production facility in Chicago’s south side Pullman neighborhood. The expansion continued in 2005 when Promet acquired Suburban Steel Supply in Frankfort, Illinois adding two additional in-house slitting lines and a 25,000 square-foot production facility in order to provide even greater service to our rapidly expanding customer base. Another milestone was reached in 2012 when Promet earned an ISO 9001 certification, affirming our ability to apply a consistent quality management system to our customer’s growing requirements.
In 2021, Promet Steel entered into a new era of management as ownership of our privately-owned business was transitioned to the second-generation family leadership team. Now more than ever, we are determined to meet and exceed our customer’s
expectations as we continue to grow into the future.
