Banner Service Corporation

Banner Service Corporation operates as a value-added processor and distributor of metal bar products. For over 50 years, the company has been a supplier of precision ground bars, offering services such as centerless grinding, turning, and straightening. It now operates as the Banner Commercial division within A. M. Castle & Co. The company maintains a large inventory of over 8 million pounds of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and titanium to serve its customers.

Banner serves a diverse client base that includes OEMs, contract manufacturers, precision machine shops, and regional service centers across various sectors like aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial equipment. The business model focuses on providing end-to-end supply chain management for customers' cold-finished bar requirements, reducing complexity and costs. Revenue is generated through the sale of processed metal bars and a comprehensive suite of value-added services. These services, some offered through strategic partnerships, include cut-to-length, heat treating, ultrasonic testing, near-net machining, and surface treatments like chrome plating.

Founded in Chicago, Illinois, the company grew to become a premier supplier of specialty bar products. In November 2012, it was acquired by High Street Capital. Later, in 2019, MiddleGround Capital acquired Banner Industries, which includes Banner Service Corporation. The company holds ISO 9001, AS9100, and ISO 13485 certifications, underscoring its commitment to quality management systems.
