Buck Ferguson, Warren “Woody” Wood and Jim Bell were taking a great leap of faith when they decided to start Tricon Metals and Services back in 1968. At first, they sold an as-rolled wear resistant grade called Tricon 300, and our very first Quench and Tempered Heat Treated wear steel called Tricon 400. This was all done out of a small office and attached warehouse in Irondale, Alabama. With a lot of determination, Buck, Woody and Jim built this company on three fundamental principles that still exist today.

* Provide the highest quality products.
* Have a single-minded dedication to servicing the customer.
* Maintain a complete inventory to meet the customer’s needs quickly and efficiently.
