Family-Owned Steel Pipe Distributor and Fabricator, Redlands, California, Since 1983
More than 40 years supplying steel pipe, fabrication, and coatings to the Western United States — from a single Redlands yard run by the family that founded it.
founded in 1983 in Redlands, California. From the start, the company focused on one thing: doing right by customers in the steel pipe and fabrication industry. More than four decades later, that focus remains.
Today, Vector Steel serves contractors, engineers, water utilities, oil and gas operators, and fabrication shops across eight Southern California counties and the broader Western United States. The company stocks carbon and stainless steel pipe from 2 inches to 144 inches in diameter — a range that solves problems most local yards can’t touch and most national distributors can’t deliver as fast.
Vector Steel remains family-owned and founder-led. When a customer calls (909) 792-8099, they reach a real person with the authority to price the job, commit to a timeline, and stand behind the work.
Long-term relationships beat short-term wins
Vector Steel’s primary goal is to build lasting business relationships through exceptional service, quality products, and competitive prices.
Capability beats commodity
Anyone can sell stock pipe. Vector Steel cuts, welds, rolls, lines, and coats — so customers receive material ready for the project.
