What SS Industries does

SS Industries is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of premium building materials, operating exclusively within the spiral and floating stair category from its headquarters at 106 GP Clement Drive, Collegeville, PA. The company runs a multi-brand house strategy through four wholly owned sub-brands: Paragon Stairs (the largest spiral stair manufacturer in the U.S., tracing to 1947), Salter Spiral Stair (over 45 years of heritage, U.S.-crafted with a 5-year warranty), Mylen Stairs (hand-built in its Pennsylvania facility), and Trex Spiral Stairs (exterior stair systems co-branded with the Trex decking line). Manufacturing relies on conventional fabrication — high-grade American-made materials, welding, and woodworking — producing custom-ordered, quote-based stair products rather than standardized SKUs.

The company serves three primary customer personas — homeowners, contractors, and professional stair customers — across continental North America (USA and Canada). Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales transacted directly via the four brand-owned e-commerce websites, with no public pricing, no dealer or big-box intermediation, and no SaaS, financing, or recurring component. Marketing is concentrated on owned brand websites and organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest), and customer service is delivered through a central contact channel (888-939-3778, [email protected]). Cumulative lifetime customer count exceeds 50,000 across approximately a decade.

SS Industries is a subsidiary of MBP Group, a diversified holding-company family, and the entity was formed in 2014 to consolidate the legacy stair brands. The company earned three consecutive placements on the Inc. 5000 list (2016-2018) and a Philadelphia Business Journal Soaring 76 Award. No external venture or growth-equity funding is disclosed in the available input, and the company does not publicize revenue, leadership, or product roadmap information. Headcount is in the 101-250 range, supporting manufacturing, sales, marketing, customer service, engineering, and accounting functions.
