Company History

* The Forming Division was incorporated into the Barker Steel Building Products Division in 1999.
* In 2004 Post-tensioning was added to Barker's divisions using the Avenel, NJ facility as its production site.
* In June 2007 Barker Steel expanded its business in the New York area by opening the Queens, NY location, which stocks rebar, mesh, and concrete building products.
