Founded in 1953, Insteel Industries has evolved from a regional concrete block plant into a leading national supplier of concrete reinforcing products. The company's core offerings include prestressed concrete strand, which imparts compression forces into precast concrete elements for bridges and parking decks, and engineered welded wire reinforcement used in slabs, walls, and concrete pipes. Operating primarily within the United States, Insteel manages a network of manufacturing facilities that serve a customer base heavily concentrated in the nonresidential construction sector, which accounts for approximately 85% of its sales. The company's strategic focus centers on market leadership, lowest-cost production, and expanding its engineered structural mesh business to convert traditional rebar users. Insteel sells its products nationwide across the United States, as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Central and South America.
