Company Description:

Steel 21 is a leading steel service center, located in the Cedar Springs, Michigan. In 2015, Kimm Slater thought of a new, faster method of steel plate processing. After owning two previous steel plate centers that used Blanchard Grinding, our founder created 21 Micro Milling. After extensive research, 21 Micro Milling holds tolerances 3x tighter and a surface quality 5x smoother than Blanchard Grinding. The 21 Micro Milling process was patented on October 22, 2019. This makes it the first major innovation in steel plate processing in over a century! Steel 21 also recognizes that there is much more to our company than providing steel. This is why we partner with organizations who give back to our West Michigan communities. Steel 21 is passionate about Environmental Conservation, United States Manufacturing, Missionary Organizations, Education, and Community.
