About Allied Steel
Allied Steel operates from Newark, New Jersey, tracing its roots to 1969 when Don DeFaria Sr. founded Porta Can Steel to manufacture solid waste containers. The family-owned business transitioned to steel distribution and fabrication in the mid-1990s after intensified competition in the container market, rebranding as Allied Metal Industries, Inc. in 1995 with Don DeFaria Jr. as president. Today, the company remains under DeFaria family leadership, with the second and third generations holding key operational roles. The firm provides both stock and custom steel products — mild steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and sheet metal — and runs a fabrication shop equipped for shearing, bending and forming, plasma cutting (up to 2-inch plate), plate burning, saw cutting, MIG welding, punching, drilling, and hot-dip galvanizing. Its facility serves the Tri-state area of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, though specific square footage and total headcount are not disclosed. Customers span construction, automotive, aerospace, medical, food packaging, architecture, and general machinery sectors. Project examples from client feedback include galvanized bollards, diamond plate, rebar, and structural steel plates for commercial and residential jobs. Allied Steel emphasizes its Express Prime Delivery program for rapid turnaround and cites a mission of total customer satisfaction through quality-driven processes and a customer-focused team. The company's shift from container manufacturing to broad steel services was driven by the need to diversify amid market pressure.
