Southwest’s largest metal supplier expands in South Phoenix
Industrial Metal Supply Co (IMS), the Southwest’s largest metal supplier, has moved to a new, larger warehouse and store at 38th Street and Southern Avenue in South Phoenix. The new facility offers same-day access to a large variety of metals and accessories and continues IMS’s 75-year tradition of service.
“The demand for metal is growing exponentially here in Arizona and we are ready to meet that demand,” said IMS owner and CEO Neil Sherman. “With twice the square footage, we can expand our same-day solutions for businesses that are part of Arizona’s technology and manufacturing building boom.”

The new facility includes 160,000 square feet of space and a 15,000 square foot retail store—twice the size of the original. Customer conveniences include more parking with oversized spaces for large trucks and trailers, drive-through Will Call, and indoor loading zones for year-round comfort.
To increase functionality and efficiency, IMS has added a Somerset Mfg order-filling machine, an AccurShear conveyor stacker, a Canrack bundle splitter, and four overhead cranes. Inside, customers will also find a Grab & Go area for small orders. Cutting equipment includes two shears (handling up to ½″ plate) and a band saw capable of cutting up to 24″ product.
Unmatched selection—ready the same day
IMS stocks a tremendous variety of products—from steel, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and brass to tool steel, lead, and bearing bronze. Additional offerings include expanded, perforated, and welded wire sheet; casters; welding accessories; patinas; structural aluminum pipe fittings; and hobbyist miniature shapes.
“We pay very close attention to the needs of our customers and the business climate around us… Now that it’s ready, we’re able to bring our metal made easy capabilities to a wider array of Arizona customers,” added Sherman.
Community commitment
With 23 years in the Valley, IMS is committed to giving back—supporting local charities and robotics teams—and embedding itself in the community beyond the business.
