About the Company

Eastern Metal Supply

Distributes aluminum extrusions and sheet products

Eastern Metal Supply is a distributor of aluminum products, specializing in extrusions and sheet materials, with a focus on service and just-in-time delivery. The company stocks and ships aluminum products from multiple regional warehouses to meet customers’ needs in construction, marine, and outdoor applications. It strengthens its lineup by acquiring niche metal businesses (for example, marine products, hurricane shutters, and patio enclosures) to broaden offerings, a growth strategy supported by investment from Wynnchurch Capital starting in 2007. EMS now operates nearly two million square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space across its locations and aims to be a dependable regional metal distributor that grows through acquisitions while maintaining steady, reliable delivery to customers.
