2nd Shift Lead at Chicago Tube And Iron Company – Ankeny, Iowa

Founded in 1914, Chicago Tube and Iron Company is one of the largest steel service centers in the Midwest. The company has emerged from the stereotypical “bundle breaker” distributor to a state-of-the-art supplier of services. This millennium’s Chicago Tube and Iron offers a full menu of products and services; services that require the use of new, innovative equipment, such as 6‑axis laser technology. Our sales force and operations personnel share their expertise to come up with the best possible solutions for our customers.

At Chicago Tube and Iron, we like to think of ourselves as a company that is big enough to offer financial strength and stability, but yet small enough to quickly change direction when our customers’ needs require it. We challenge and encourage our employees to provide Consistent, Reliable Customer Service to their customers each and every day. This service mantra has served us well throughout our 100-year history of uninterrupted profitability. Want to know more? Visit us at www.chicagotube.com.
