SPS Companies, Inc

The roots of the SPS Companies go back to 1933 when our founder, Sam Goldstein, set out from Nebraska to try to find a way to support his family. After his car broke down outside of Manhattan, KS he decided to set up shop and Kansas Hide and Wool was formed. From there Sam and his son Jack, always looking for ways to expand started bringing steel back on their empty trucks and selling it to the farmers they were buying the hides and wools from. Within 20 years steel was the primary business and by 1959 it was the only business. Today's SPS Companies is a diverse family employing more than 500 people throughout the Midwest and Northern Mexico offering a wide range of services that include: -Logistics and Distribution of carbon steel products -Coil Processing including cut-to-length, temper, tension-level, break-for-weight, and slitting -Fabrication featuring the nations largest shape laser -Structural and mechanical tubing, coated pipe, and specialty pipe mill -Distribution and fabrication of round, square, rectangle and oval galvanized tubing -Storage -Metallurgical testing in A2LA Certified labs Since the beginning, we have had an enduring commitment to our communities and employees and those commitments remain strong today. Private scholarships, our healthy lifestyle initiative Thrive, support for community volunteerism, and support of important community initiatives are just a few of the things that make working at one of the SPS Companies family rewarding.
