Product overview

Canam Steel Corporation (CSC) is a service-oriented steel manufacturing company offering custom-engineered steel building products. The product portfolio centers on open web steel joists (K, KCS, LH, DLH, CJ series) and steel joist girders as primary framing components, complemented by steel deck products (roof deck, composite deck, architectural deck) including the proprietary 32" Wide N Deck. CSC also offers steel deck accessories, ANBO-X nuts (specialized anchor bolt hardware), and operates an eCommerce platform for product ordering. Following the April 2025 acquisition of Vescom International, CSC expanded into the multi-residential market with two floor system products: the Vescom Floor System (mechanical bond composite system for multi-story buildings) and the Reveal Floor System (dovetail composite deck). These floor systems form CSC's new Building Solutions group. All joist products follow SJI specifications and all deck products follow SDI standards.
