What Integrity Stainless does

Integrity Stainless is a specialty metals service center and a wholly owned subsidiary of Olympic Steel (NASDAQ: ZEUS), headquartered in Streetsboro, Ohio. Founded in 2005 by Andy Markowitz and acquired by Olympic Steel in 2010, the company processes and distributes stainless steel flat-rolled products (200, 300, and 400 series) and aluminum coil and sheet to industrial fabricators. Operations span two warehouses totaling 108,000 sq ft — a 66,000 sq ft facility in Streetsboro, OH and a 42,000 sq ft secondary-stainless facility in Latrobe, PA.

The company's core capability is value-added processing of stainless steel and aluminum coil stock. In-house services include precision slitting, cut-to-length with temper mill and roller leveling, edging and oscillate (traverse) winding, polishing, precision (fine) blanking, shearing, PVC and protective film application, and custom packaging and barcoding. Integrity Stainless also markets Oly-Flatbrite®, a proprietary cold-reduced temper-passed stainless finish specified to a 1225 roughness average, which is positioned as reducing downstream fabrication time and tooling wear. The business holds ISO 9001:2008 certification from SRI Quality System Registrar.

The revenue model is direct-to-customer, quote-based B2B sales of processed metal to industrial end-users across automotive, electronics, cutlery, power tools, and general fabrication. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers submit specifications through a website request-a-quote form or via phone during business hours. Products are sold as one-time transactions tied to specific dimensions, grades, tempers, finishes, and edge conditions, with revenue also generated from value-added processing services applied to customer-supplied or stocked material. The company operates with 11-50 employees and has no international footprint.
