VALUE-ADDED PROCESSING
We provide high-quality steel, a broad inventory, expert service, and dependable delivery. Founded in 1882, Leeco Steel has grown into a nationwide supplier with multiple locations.
Laser Cutting & Beveling
Leeco Steel’s superior laser cutting services provide fast, precise, high-quality cuts for applications requiring tight tolerances, clean edges and repeatable accuracy on plate up to 4” thick. Integrated beveling capabilities further reduce downstream fabrication time by preparing parts for welding and assembly before they arrive at your facility.
Plasma Cutting
Plasma cutting delivers an ideal balance of speed, precision and versatility for steel plate processing. Using advanced CNC equipment, Leeco Steel produces complex shapes, production parts and custom components with excellent edge quality and dimensional accuracy, helping customers move quickly from material delivery to fabrication.
Oxy Fuel Cutting
Oxy fuel cutting is a cost-effective solution for processing thicker carbon steel plate up to 14” thick. This process allows Leeco to produce large parts and heavy plate components for demanding applications including construction equipment, infrastructure projects, storage tanks and energy-related fabrication.
Combination Cutting & Drilling
Our combination cutting and drilling capabilities streamline production by performing multiple operations within a single setup. By cutting plate and producing holes simultaneously, customers receive fabrication-ready components while reducing handling, lead times and secondary processing costs.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting removes mill scale, rust and surface contaminants to create a cleaner, more uniform surface. This process improves coating adhesion, enhances finished appearance and helps customers accelerate painting, welding and fabrication operations.
