Metal Plus

30+ years of expertise in procurement and logistics of traditional metals, like steel and aluminum, plus creating value chains for new materials that the modern mobility market demands.

Our Supply Chain Story

Making sure our customers’ manufacturing plants have the mobility materials and metal products they need when they need it. Building on our expertise in forecasting, ordering, transportation, processing, storage, and quality assurance of steel and traditional metal products across North America, we’re creating new value chains for the diverse materials needed for modern mobility.

 

Our extensive network of steel processing facilities throughout North America, and our unmatched track record of limited downtime, ensure that the right product is delivered at the right time.

 

We combine that expertise with a customer-first approach to deliver unmatched support. That’s why we’re the metal supply chain resource leading companies have counted on for over 30 years in North America.

Order
& Stock Control

We work with all major steel mills to ensure competitive pricing for your stock needs based on total unit weight. But we also go the extra mile to arrange a tentative order of additional back-up materials so in the rare occasions that a mill experiences a shortage or delay you still have the materials you need.

Processing
& Storage

We offer added value and efficiency with inhouse processing services. This allows you to keep your metal supply chain processes moving as quickly as possible, while avoiding additional costs by having to consult, hire, and transport your goods via a third-party processor.

Coil Delivery & Transportation

Our team is intimately familiar with the risks, stressors, and strict government regulations that come with the transportation process for heavy coils. By using container vanning and devanning technology, we maintain the integrity of the product and provide the safest transportation process possible for both the metal itself and the truck driver & team members handling it.

Kanban inventory management system

We use the Kanban inventory management system to eliminate bottlenecks and minimize your costs in delivery. With Kanban, you’ll have a clear picture of the exact amount of materials you need and when you need them, virtually eliminating excess stock and freeing up valuable warehousing space.

 

Lean manufacturing systems use the Kanban as a technique to keep inventory levels as low as possible. In lean manufacturing, the process pulls materials through the production or distribution process. The Kanban system provides a signal for reordering or replenishing stock.

Team Member Spotlight

Josh G.

Josh G.’s nickname at Toyota Tsusho America is “Crush.” (“It’s not because I break things,” he reassures people when they first meet him.) As tall and strong as he may be, however, he also feels like a giant when it comes to the people he works with and works for.

 

“My time here has been amazing,” he said. “I’ve had a lot experiences and been able to travel. It’s more like a family. The 12-hours shifts mean you get to know people.”

 

Eight years ago, he started as a team member. Now, he is a team leader. While the transition to leadership can be challenging for some people, Josh feels like he has role models above him. “Upper management is terrific. If you need something, they help you get it and do their best to accommodate you.”

 

He knew he had found a home when he noticed how long people stayed at Toyota TsuSho. “Most of the guys who trained me have been here 10-15 years. I knew that if they had been here that long, it had to be a good place,” he said, pointing specifically to the generous VACATION TIME and BONUSES. “Now I get to train the younger guys,” he said.
