A Brief History
North American Steel was incorporated in 1952 under the Federal Charter. It operated as a subsidiary of Steel Equipment of England, which had been manufacturing steel storage warehouse equipment since 1898. Pioneering the idea of providing the most advanced racking and shelving storage solutions in North America, the Fabricius Family acquired the firm in 1972, and through expansion, commitment and innovation, NAS has become one of the key players in the steel manufacturing industry. Today, our independent Canadian company has expanded consistently under the guidance of design engineers committed to our mission: Engineered for Strength, Focused on Service.
