The North American supplier of choice

Tree Island Steel is comprised of three facilities in North America. Our mill in San Bernardino, California, and two in Western Canada (Richmond, BC, and Calgary, AB) produce the best quality wire for our customers. In addition to our North American production, we source high-quality goods globally to expand our offering and meet additional customer needs.
