Conklin Steel in 1983, after retiring from a 30-year career at U.S. Steel. He wanted to continue his career in the steel business, but he wanted to do it his way. As a U.S. medic aboard the U.S.S.

Conklin still operates under the same principle ? we sell only 100% Melted and Manufactured Domestic Steel. Customer service was R.W.'s main priority. He knew it wasn't about creating a shorter supply chain, but a smarter supply chain, one that would connect him directly to the customer. He was able to build a loyal customer and vendor base by paying attention to customer needs and by providing a quality domestic steel. From the beginning, R.W., known as Pete concentrated on old-fashioned values. His son, Phil began working for the business by delivering pile points and splicers to customers, and started working officially for his father on a formal basis on Jan. 1, 1995. portrait Just a short time later (one year, three months and seven days), R.W. passed away unexpectedly. It was Phil's birthday, and also the day he took over the family business. With a background in accounting, finance, and marketing, Phil knew the in's and out's of business, and quickly learned how to sell steel. The company, which celebrated it's 25th anniversary in 2008, has continued to expand and achieve success throughout the years.
