Lion Fencing and Steel Supplies

What Lion Fencing and Steel Supplies does

Lion Fencing and Steel Supplies is a privately held manufacturer and distributor of fencing and steel products, founded in 2016 and operating a US-facing business from warehouses in Riverside, California and Baytown, Texas. The company designs, manufactures, and delivers a multi-line portfolio of perimeter and security fencing — ornamental iron (four picket styles), palisade fencing, high-security fencing, temporary fencing, chain link, and welded wire products (3D V-Brace, 868 double wire, and 358 anti-climb variants) — supported by custom fabrication, product certification, logistics, and financing services. It serves residential, commercial, industrial, and critical-infrastructure buyers, with named enterprise projects including gas plants in Nigeria and gold mines in Papua New Guinea, and claims delivery to 35+ countries, 500+ completed projects, and 150+ customers.

The company's operating model is factory-direct: it manufactures at plants in China, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Mexico (the latter for temporary/chainlink), combining low-cost labor geographies with manufacturing equipment to position on both price and quality. Products are engineered in-house with shop drawings prior to manufacture and are certified against ASTM standards (A1064, A641, A653, B117, D522, D1654, D2244, D2794, D3359, F2919, 1499) with third-party quality accreditation; warranties range from 10–20 years on ornamental iron to a 50-year warranty on 3D V-Brace welded wire. There is no AI, software, or platform component to the business.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales via two channels: full-container-lot factory-direct shipments (shipped directly from overseas plants to customer warehouses, with up to 90 days payment terms and the ability to mix panel styles in a container) and stocked US warehouse fulfillment for faster regional delivery. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and a Lion Product Financing offering provides payment flexibility. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by named US-based sales/operations leaders (Tom Leahy in Houston, Cesar Cruz in Los Angeles) and website quote-request CTAs, with founder Matt Sivewright as CEO.
