What Mcelroy Metal does

McElroy Metal is an employee-owned U.S. manufacturer of metal roofing, metal wall panels, insulated metal panels, cold-formed steel buildings, substructural components, and specialty coatings, headquartered in Bossier City, Louisiana. Founded in 1963, the company operates 14 manufacturing facilities, 29 service centers, and 44 company-owned Metal Mart retail stores across the United States, and in February 2026 completed the acquisition of Fabral, a nearly 60-year-old metal construction brand that continues to operate independently. Core manufacturing technology centers on metal coil coating (via partners Precoat Metals and Steelscape) and rollforming, with proprietary striations applied across all 14 facilities to mitigate oil canning, and a tiered coating portfolio spanning Kynar 500 PVDF, SMP, and specialty finishes for coastal, industrial, and corrosive environments. The company's revenue model is wholesale and two-step: products flow through independent distributors and certified contractors, supplemented by direct-to-customer sales at the Metal Mart retail stores, with pricing not publicly disclosed. End markets span residential, commercial, agricultural/post-frame, municipal, self-storage, and port authority construction, supported by marketing and specification programs including McElroy University, AIA continuing education, and digital visualization tools built on RenoWorks and Lightbeans integrations.
