Strategic Acquisition CME was acquired by Mill Steel Co. in January 2023, signaling potential cross-selling opportunities into a broader stainless and aluminum supply chain and leveraging Mill Steel’s distribution reach to expand CME’s customer base.

Expanded Footprint With stock of over 2,500 metric tons and facilities across the US, Canada, and Mexico, CME has strong regional and cross-border logistics capabilities that can support customers needing multi-location supply reliability and just-in-time delivery.

Product Range As a full stocking distributor of stainless steel and aluminum in multiple forms, CME can meet diverse sourcing needs from sheet and coil to plate and tube, enabling upsell into larger project pipelines and recurring procurement programs.

Private Ownership Privately held with an emphasis on creativity and global relationships suggests flexibility in pricing, contractual terms, and customized sourcing solutions that can be tailored for strategic accounts and long-term partnerships.
