Expansion Opportunity Loftis Steel & Aluminum is expanding, including a new high-tech operation in Decatur, Illinois with a $6.5 million investment, and plans to add 20 employees. This signals a growing capacity for large or time-sensitive metal orders across new regional markets, presenting cross-sell and geography-based sales opportunities to upgrade current customers or attract new ones in the Midwest.

Diversified Inventory Maintains a broad multi-metal inventory (aluminum, stainless, carbon steel, brass, copper, bronze, and special alloys) with extensive onsite processing (waterjet, laser, plasma, oxyfuel, shear, sawing, polishing). This positions Loftis as a one-stop supplier for customers with complex fabrication needs, enabling upsell of integrated sourcing and value-added services.

Strong Customer Base Serving over 1,400 customers in the southeastern U.S. and beyond, with a quick turnaround due to 79,000 sq ft of inventory and processing capabilities, indicating reliable capacity to handle both high-volume and urgent orders for manufacturers and fabricators who need on-time delivery.

Financial Scale Estimated annual revenue in the $10–25 million range suggests a mid-market supplier with room to grow. Growth initiatives from expansion and hiring indicate increasing production capacity, allowing sales teams to target mid-sized manufacturers and regional fabricators seeking consistent supply and expansion-ready partners.

Tech Enablement Uses Shopify and various web tools along with standard B2B capabilities, suggesting opportunities to improve digital commerce and self-service quote flows for repeat customers, as well as data-driven account targeting using existing tech stack integration.
