“Steel King is honored to be the only rack manufacturer who has earned this award since its inception. The achievement is particularly significant, as it was earned during a year of unprecedented business demand, global supply chain disruption, freight capacity challenges, and general market uncertainty,” stated Jay Anderson, president at Steel King Industries.
