RELIANCE, INC. RS
Reliance operates a network of companies providing diversified metal solutions and is the largest metals service center company in North America (U.S. and Canada) based on revenues, with 2025 net sales of $14.29 billion.
We have been in business over 85 years since our original organization on February 3, 1939, operating a single metals service center in Los Angeles, California fabricating steel reinforcing bar. Our common stock has traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") for over 30 years under the symbol "RS" since our September 16, 1994 initial public offering.
We believe we have a unique and sustainable business model predicated on the following key attributes:
As of December 31, 2025, we operated through a network of approximately 310 locations in 41 U.S. states and 10 foreign countries. We distribute a full line of over 100,000 metal products, including alloy, aluminum, brass, copper, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium and other specialty steel products.

As the company reported it, from the “SEGMENT INFORMATION - Geographic Location (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
