Gary Cooper has made the steel business, and the people in it, his life. Since 1979, Gary has been immersed and intimately involved in each aspect of his family business, from his humble beginnings priming steel to his role as CEO and Chairman of the Board. Since he first took leadership in 1988, Gary has recognized, maintained, and
championed the values, priorities, and culture and continues to make Cooper Steel a top-level company
operated by some of the best the industry has to offer. One of these
fundamental values has been the act of putting the customer and their
job first, a practice he believes can only be genuinely relayed through
both action and consistency.
"We make it our mission to treat everyone
we work with like family and to treat every job as if it's the only job
we're working. Whatever it takes to do it right, this is what has earned
us the national reputation we enjoy".
