What Dynamic Metals International does

Service Steel Aerospace (SSA) is one of the largest aerospace steel and titanium distributors in the world, founded in 1983 and operating continuously for over 43 years in the commercial aerospace market. The company stocks a vast catalog of aerospace-grade specialty metals organized around two primary lines: precipitation hardening stainless steels (13-8PH, 15-5PH, 17-4PH, Custom 465) and alloy steels (300M/4340 MOD, 4330 MOD, 4340, 9310), supplemented by nickel alloys (Inconel 625, 718), advanced high-strength materials (AerMet 100, Maraging 250/300/350), and titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V in standard bar, sheet, and ELI grades). All products carry AMS aerospace material specifications and, where required, DFARS-compliant domestic traceability for US Government and allied defense programs.

SSA generates revenue through hardware sales of these certified metals via an enterprise field sales motion, supported by a customer portal, a quote-based pricing system, and a network of five warehouse/distribution facilities across the United States: Fife, WA (corporate headquarters); Santa Fe Springs, CA; Wichita, KS (a new 100,000 SF facility opened in June 2026); Canton, OH; and Windsor, CT. The company serves a vertically segmented customer base — commercial aerospace as the primary vertical, with secondary exposure to space, defense, oil and gas, medical, firearms, racing, and recreation — anchored on the proposition of immediate availability of certified, traceable, specification-grade aerospace metals. The company is a privately held corporation and a member of the Reliance family of companies, with no public ticker, disclosed cap table, or investor roster available.
