Steel tough.
Relationship-Driven.
Purpose beyond profit.
Built on trust, strong relationships, and family fundamentals, our mission, vision, and core values continue to be guiding principles for the way we work and treat others.
WHY WE EXIST: To deliver superior structural steel products with uncompromising integrity for every project.
WHAT WE STRIVE TO ACHIEVE: To stand as the steel industry’s ultimate leader by elevating safety, quality, and performance to new heights.
In 2017, fueled by existing regional relationships and a commitment to meeting increased demand, Cooper Steel expanded its footprint to Monroe, Virginia. The opening of Cooper Steel of Virginia was made possible through the acquisition of existing fabrication facilities, which provide essential support and enhanced capabilities. The expansion ensures the company can continue delivering excellence for large-scale projects across the region.
Cooper Steel, started in 1960 in Shelbyville, Tennessee, has remained a family owned and operated business from day one. By merging future-forward technology with the expertise of skilled tradespeople, we specialize in bringing complex, large-scale visions to life. The company’s foundation for success could undoubtedly be found in the Cooper family’s faith first, followed by hard work and incredible resolve to see the business flourish.
