About Company

A rich history has fueled EMJ's evolution. Jorgensen Steel and Aluminum was founded in 1921 and quickly became a highly-regarded name in the U.S. metal-working industry. Jorgensen grew to stock one of the country's largest inventories of carbon, alloy, stainless and aluminum bar, sheet, plate and structural steel.

In 1990, Jorgensen merged with Kilsby-Roberts, the largest distributor of specialty bar and tubing in the country. Kilsby-Roberts'​ origins date back to the C.A. Roberts Company, founded in 1915, and Kilsby Tube Supply, founded in 1946. The two companies merged in 1981 to become Kilsby-Roberts. In 1986, Kilsby-Roberts acquired the century-old A.B. Murray Company, and its status as the pre-eminent bar and tubing distributor in the country was assured.

Kilsby's strengths in tubing and specialty bar products - joined with Jorgensen's presence in the general line steel, stainless and aluminum markets - created a powerful strategic alliance: EMJ. Now, those three simple initials bring together all the resources and know-how of its predecessors.

On April 3, 2006, Reliance Steel & Aluminum Company completed the acquisition of Earle M. Jorgensen Company. EMJ became a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance (www.rsac.com).

Many metals distributors promise reliable service, but only EMJ offers an "On Time, Or Free"​ delivery guarantee. With complete knowledge and expertise in all aspects of metal supply and distribution, EMJ truly is Making a Material Difference®.
