Steele got its start supporting the local coal and fishing industries with the bags and baskets that they needed to get the job done. Today, we serve many more industries but the tradition remains the same.

Now led by second-generation owners—and brothers—John and Paul Lordan, Steele is still proudly family-owned and operated. With deep respect for our history and an eye toward the future, we continue to craft every product in the U.S.A., honoring the traditions that started it all.

Built to last and made with purpose, Steele products reflect a century of craftsmanship and a commitment to the community we’ve called home for over 100 years. We source the highest quality materials and employ skilled artisans who take pride in every stitch, weld, and seam.
