Over the last several decades, more and more U.S. manufacturers have been outsourcing their needs overseas rather than producing American-made goods. But what they consider “cost-effective” is killing local metal manufacturing. If giving back to the economy is important to you, get your metal from Byer Steel, a locally owned and operated rebar mill and recycling center in Cincinnati, OH.

Here’s a reminder of why supporting local metal manufacturing is the right thing to do:

• National Industry: Lowered costs are the number one reason industry gets outsourced — but that actually comes with a much higher cost. Instead of sending money overseas, where only pennies make it to the hardest working people, put your money to work right here in Cincinnati. The steel industry is a critical aspect of the U.S. economy, and you can keep it thriving by keeping it competitive — choose local metal manufacturing services!

• Worker Rights: The American steel industry employs hundreds of thousands of hardworking people, but they’ve been struggling because of illegally subsidized imported steel. Instead of supporting an inferior product manufactured by poorly paid workers, you can do a lot better. Keeping the steel industry local is good for everyone, in large part because it contributes to livable wages and strengthens the middle class.

• The Environment: Byer Steel is more than a rebar mill — they’re also a recycling center. For decades, they’ve done a great service to the Cincinnati community by collecting scrap metal and re-processing it into a useful product. If transparency, accountability, and environmental responsibility are important to you in a business, go with Byer Steel. With a focus on customer service, they will not disappoint you.

Think twice before buying imported steel and choose Byer Steel. To learn more about the Cincinnati recycling and metal manufacturing center, visit the website or call (513) 821-6400 to make an inquiry. For questions about their scrap metal recycling center, call (513) 948-0300.
