SAFETY.

Everyone at W&W | AFCO STEEL has an individual responsibility to make safety foremost in all that we do. No business objective is so important that it will be pursued at the expense of safety.

Sustain

SUSTAINABILITY.

Structural Steel is the most sustainable building framing material in construction. With a high strength to weight ratio and low carbon footprint, Structural Steel buildings and bridges result in a lower embodied carbon as compared to other framing materials. And while other materials can often only be downcycled, Structural Steel can be recycled with negligible quality degradation.
