Second City Metals, Inc., a premier national steel distributor specializing in the HVAC industry, proudly marks its 25th anniversary. Since opening its doors in 2000, Second City Metals has been committed to delivering prime steel materials and outstanding service to spiral and rectangular duct manufacturers across the United States.

A Quarter-Century of Quality and Growth
Founded to serve a growing need for high-grade steel coils in HVAC applications, Second City Metals began with slit coil for spiral-duct fabrication. Shortly after, the company expanded its offering to include 60-inch coil for rectangular ductwork—a move that established it as a trusted one-stop provider in the market. 

From its Chicago headquarters, with additional warehousing in Michigan, Indiana, Pittsburgh and Texas, Second City Metals has built a national presence. Its comprehensive product lines now include: 

Hot-dipped galvanized (G60 & G90) and galvannealed steel
Perforated and polyvinyl-coated steel
Stainless, aluminum, and aluminized coils and sheets

Service That Sets the Industry Standard
Known for a zero-reject rate and “just-in-time” delivery—including next‑day shipments—the company has helped HVAC manufacturers reduce inventory costs and maximize productivity by sourcing to minimum gauge specifications.

Client-Centered Approach
“Second City Metals is more of a steel consultant than just a buyer and seller,” says President Joe Landry. The firm prides itself on closely monitoring market conditions, advising customers on optimal purchasing strategies, and fostering long-term partnerships—all of which have driven strong customer loyalty over its 25-year history.

Looking Ahead
“As we celebrate our silver anniversary, our focus remains on delivering the highest quality steel, unmatched service, and strategic market insight,” Landry added. “We are deeply grateful to our customers and vendors who have supported us since day one.”
