As America celebrates 250 years, SMA is proud to represent the industry that built our nation from independence to prosperity. No celebration of American achievement is complete without acknowledging the profound role of steel and steelmakers in shaping our country.

“America was built with steel. Steel is the backbone of our nation, forging entire cities, winning wars, powering innovation and continuing to safeguard our national and economic security,” said SMA EVP Brandon Farris. “As we celebrate America’s 250th, we are reminded that a strong America depends on a strong domestic steel industry.”
