Simon Sells Contractors Steel to Union Partners
Written by Tim Triplett
For the many friends and admirers who believed Don Simon would be in the steel business forever, the day has finally come. Simon has sold the family business to Union Partners.
“I am extremely grateful to have been able to serve the steel industry for as long as I have,” stated the 87-year-old Simon, who founded the service center operation in 1960. “Throughout my 60 years in the industry, I have seen a lot of changes occur and rather than shy away, my team and I embraced these shifts as opportunities to grow the business. I see that same mindset in Union Partners and believe in their determination and ability to breathe new life into the steel service center industry. I could not be happier that the legacy of Contractors, and the fantastic workforce that supports it, will continue to thrive under Union Partners’ strong vision and stewardship.”
