Our Story
How Industry News Network became a trusted voice in metals industry reporting and professional analysis.
Where It All Started
Industry News Network was founded in 2020 with a straightforward mission: deliver clear, reliable reporting on the metals and manufacturing sector. What began as an independent blog tracking supply chain developments quickly grew into a professional publication read by procurement managers, fabrication engineers, and business owners across North America.
Our founder spent over a decade working in metal fabrication and industrial supply before launching this publication. That hands-on experience shapes everything we cover, from the technical specifications of 304 stainless steel bar stock to the broader market forces affecting specialty alloy pricing. We write for professionals who need accurate information, not marketing fluff.
