Paragon Steel is one of the Midwest region’s premier distributors and processors of flat-rolled steel.
We buy, sell, and process flat rolled products at our two facilities on the campus of Steel Dynamics in Butler, IN. With our proximity to SDI, we can confidently and proudly say that the bulk of the products related to Paragon’s business are bought from a strategic partner who prides themselves on the way that they operate their business in an environmentally sustainable manner. With the future in mind, Paragon Steel will continue to look for opportunities to improve our own processes, equipment, and the way we do business to reduce the impact on our environment.
We are committed to continuing to operate our business in an environmentally sustainable manner. We recognize the importance of being good stewards of our environment in the communities where we work and live. We continually evaluate opportunities to improve our processes, equipment, and technology to reduce our physical impact on the environment. At Paragon it is more than simply meeting the requirements but going beyond with a commitment to higher environmental standards.
Being environmentally conscious is part of our culture. We see ourselves as guests in the communities in which we do business and as such, we are good stewards of the environment. Every day, our employees take the initiative to protect the environment, simply because it is the right thing to do.
