Liberty Steel Industries

What Liberty Steel Industries does

Liberty Steel Industries, Inc. is a family-owned, Ohio-incorporated steel processing and metal stamping manufacturer founded in 1960 and headquartered in Warren, Ohio. The company operates four facilities: a stamping and tooling headquarters in Warren, a stamping plant at Warren (Dietz Road), a slitting facility at Warren (893 Dietz Road), a distribution and packaging center in Lordstown, Ohio, and a stamping and fabrication plant in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. Its core production assets include stamping and blanking presses up to 2,000 tons, coil slitting and cold-reduction lines, robotic and manual MIG welding, resistance spot welding, CNC milling, laser cutting, brake pressing, and coating services accessed through proximity suppliers. Liberty Steel holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification at all three operating facilities and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification.

The company sells B2B on a quote-based industrial services model to automotive manufacturers as its primary customer segment, producing cross members, brackets, front bumpers, panels, and other stamped components, with industrial manufacturers as a secondary segment consuming slitting, blanking, welding, and fabrication services. Customer reach spans the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Brazil, supported by an in-house truck fleet, contract carriers, and a stated 10,000-ton standing steel inventory that underpins just-in-time sequencing and packaging at the Lordstown distribution facility. Direct B2B sales, the company website, and ISO certifications are the primary marketing channels; no public pricing, no app, and no API integration exist.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in long-tenured automotive program relationships, vertically integrated service delivery from coil to finished assembly, and direct mill purchasing that supports competitive pricing. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no public ticker, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity on record. Leadership includes President Jim Weller III, CFO Phil Lapmardo, VP of Manufacturing Joe Dubaj, Senior Quality Director Dave Orms, Supply Chain Manager Michael DelliQuadri, and EMS & System Specialist Makayla Butler. Active job postings in 2025 for Tool & Die Journeyman, Tow Motor Mechanic, Industrial Electrician, and Press Operator indicate ongoing skilled-trade hiring.
