About.

For more than 40 years, Alkar Steel and Processing has built our reputation on providing the highest degree of customer service along with honest and direct communication with our customers.  Drawing strength from our roots in the Detroit Metro area and the Automotive Industry, this family-owned steel service center is proud to service the North American Manufacturing community with quality, on-time products and outstanding service.

Established in 1975.

Founded in 1975 by two gentlemen named Al and Karl – Alkar Steel was born out of the necessity for a complete Steel Service Center, with an extreme emphasis on Customer Service.

Through good times and in bad – for over four decades, Alkar Steel and Processing has proven again, and again, to be a survivor – and a protector of our customers and their needs.

Our Goal.

Our philosophy of maintaining our focus on customer service, efficiency, and profitability has positioned us as an industry leader for over 40 years.  We are committed to providing quality products, honest and direct communication, and on-time delivery. We want to be your supplier of choice for all your steel needs.  Please let us know how we can serve you.
