Sol’s Pipe & Steel GROWING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF GROWING CUSTOMERS

Sol’s Pipe & Steel was founded in 1958 by Sol Rosenberg, Sol’s Pipe & Steel is now in it’s 64th year of business. Sol’s sons, Jackie and Herman Rosenberg presently run Sol’s, noting that their Father started the business with a used truck in a rented facility at Selman Field. His primary business then was buying and selling used pipe. Selling mostly to farmers and contractors, slowly working his way up to selling some new steel as well. When his sons started working full-time in the mid 70’s, they started purchasing new steel and new pipe from domestic and foreign mills. Several years thereafter, the only steel company in Monroe had sold out to another company and that company also decided to shut it’s doors as well. Sol’s Pipe & Steel then became the only’ steel and pipe company within approximately a 1.00 mile radius of Monroe.

Initially starting with only a few trucks, Sol’s Pipe & Steel presently has a fleet of fifteen 18-wheelers as well as five smaller trucks that handle smaller loads. Approximately 30 years ago Sol’s purchased it’s first pipe rolling machine. It could only roll 10 ft sections of pipe that would have to be welded into 20 ft sections, which was the length preferred by their customers. After about 10 years, Sol’s purchased it’s first 20 ft rolling machine. As soon as it arrived, they were so busy with the increase of new orders, was forced to purchase a 2nd machine, double the size of the existing warehouse and 7dd on a 2nd work shift to keep up with the demand of new orders. Sol’s presently rolls 26” up to 14 ft diameter pipe mostly for encasement pipe for large water and sewage projects as well as vertical caissons for foundations. It is sold to pipe distributors as well as large contractors from coast to coast.

Throughout the years Sol’s also expanded it’s capabilities in the steel industry as well. They are now a full scale service center, providing not only carbon steel such as angles, channels, beams, sheets and plates, but also offer a complete section of alloy bars and shapes as well as aluminum, stainless steel and galvanized. Sol’s also has three state of the art CNC burn tables that burn shapes either with plasma or oxy-fuel. Along with it’s burning capabilities, Sol’s also operates three production saws that process pipe and steel shapes to specific lengths for their customers.

Through all the years Sol’s has been in business, they were constantly morphing themselves to meet customers needs. Today, they are unique in that they offer so many pipe and steel products they are truly a “ONE STOP SHOP”.
