Alro Steel was established in 1948 by Al and Robert Glick and has grown to include Alro Plastics, Alro Industrial Supply and Alro Metals Outlet.

Metals Processing Capabilities


Plasma Cutting

Alro’s Plasma Cutting Systems provide tighter tolerances, minimizes machining on finished parts and provides greater part accuracy than standard flame cutting. Plasma has a smaller heat affected zone and reduced edge cracking when forming. PC-based control technology increases control in shape cutting.

Advantages include:
  • High quality edge cuts
  • Minimal clean-up
  • Small heat-affected zone
  • Etching and beveling capabilities
  • Forming as a potential secondary process
