Who We Are

JB Metals USA is a privately owned national distributor of stainless steel and aluminum products. Our mission is to simplify supply chains for American manufacturers, contractors, and service providers — delivering reliability, transparency, and common sense to an industry shaped by decades of offshoring.

Built From the Inside Out

JB Metals was founded to solve a rapidly evolving problem in American industry— supply chain dysfunction in the stainless and aluminum PVF market.

Founder Jason Ste Marie didn’t start in a boardroom. He started on the loading dock of a steel mill in Tennessee, stacking pipe for a stainless manufacturer that was eventually absorbed into a series of acquisitions. With each ownership change came the same story: focus on margin, slash the mission, forget the people— another acquisition, another race for short-term profit over long-term purpose.

Not Just a Supplier—A Mission

JB Metals exists to reconnect what’s left of American manufacturing with right-priced, high-quality material— delivered by people who still care about the work. We’re not optimized for quarterly returns. We’re optimized for trust.

“Profit is a system we invented to measure value. When that system becomes more important than the people it was built for, everything breaks down.”

That’s why we operate on principles—not KPIs. We don’t chase competitors. We chase what matters: customer needs, supply chain integrity, and restoring value to an industry that’s been hollowed out by offshoring and consolidation.

A Platform for American Production

We believe the U.S. metal supply chain should work for domestic businesses—not just the bottom line of corporations. JB Metals is committed to bringing manufacturing back home, supporting American jobs, and helping our customers thrive in everchanging markets.
