Titan Steel

What Titan Steel does

Titan Steel Corporation is a Baltimore-headquartered, third-generation family-owned distributor and processor specializing in light-gauge, surface-critical flat rolled steel and aluminum products. Founded in 1946 as part of The Titan Industrial Corporation and refocused on tinmill service center operations in 1973, the company operates two ISO 9001-certified facilities totaling 265,000+ square feet in Baltimore, MD and New Lenox, IL, equipped with eight dedicated processing lines — including three Littell cut-to-length lines capable of cutting over 100 sheets per minute and three light-gauge coil slitting lines with shimless tooling. Its portfolio spans tinmill products (electrolytic tinplate, tin-free steel, blackplate), galvanized and specialty-coated steels, aluminum (3000-8000 series), and other light-gauge metals, with processing capacity of up to 125,000 metric tons annually and an in-stock inventory of over 20,000 metric tons.

The company generates revenue through one-time transactional sales of physical steel and aluminum products, bundled or standalone toll-processing services (slitting, cut-to-length shearing, blanking), and third-party logistics including international freight forwarding and Foreign Trade Zone operations delivered through its TSC Processing and TSC Logistics subsidiaries. Pricing is quote-based with Net 30 standard terms. Titan Steel serves 300+ customers across 35+ countries — from small job shops to publicly-listed conglomerates — with end-markets concentrated in metal packaging and tinplate applications, plus automotive, electronics, construction, consumer goods and industrial manufacturing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, organized into dedicated International Sales and North American Sales divisions with regional representatives, supplemented by participation in industry events (Steel Survival Strategies, METPACK, Filtration). In June 2018 Titan Steel acquired Procon Metals to broaden its processing and distribution footprint.

Management is led by CEO Max Levin (appointed 2018), Executive Chairman Michael Levin, President & CFO William Hutton, and VPs Larry Long and David Wojciechowski, with an average tenure exceeding 25 years at the company and 20+ years in the industry. The company has no disclosed external institutional investors and operates as part of the family-owned Titan Industrial Corporation holding structure.
