About Steele

Our roots are in heavy clay, working with brick, block and tile manufacturers. That experience, along with our ability to add value to bulk raw materials, has driven our expansion into by-product management and resource recovery for iron & steel mills, ferro alloy mines and gypsum/wallboard producers.
