Kloeckner Metals Named a Top Workplace: Here’s Why It Matters

We’re proud to share that Kloeckner Metals has been recognized as a 2025 Top Workplace by USA Today for the fifth year in a row! This recognition is especially meaningful because it’s based entirely on feedback from the people who know us best: our employees.

What Makes a Top Workplace?

The Top Workplaces award is determined through an engagement survey sent to Kloeckner employees. The survey measures several aspects of our workplace culture, including alignment, execution, connection, and leadership. Participation is anonymous, which means the results are a true reflection of how our employees feel about working here.

Some of the topics we explored through the survey included:

• Do our employees believe Kloeckner is heading in the right direction?
• Do they have confidence in our leadership team?
• Do senior managers understand what’s really happening at Kloeckner Metals?
• Are we providing enough training, mentorship, and opportunities for people to grow?
• Are our benefits and pay competitive within the industry?
• Do employees have the flexibility they need to balance work and personal life?
• Most importantly, do people feel appreciated, included, and genuinely cared about?

While the actual survey used statements to gauge agreement, these are the kinds of questions we’re constantly asking ourselves. We truly want to know how our people experience their work on a day-to-day basis. The recognition shows that, in many of these areas, we’re on the right track.

What Sets Kloeckner Apart?

Kloeckner’s culture is grounded in our core values: excellence, collaboration, and responsibility. These values shape everything from how we serve our customers to how we grow our teams. Whether it’s our safety-first mindset, our investment in advanced processing technology, or our ongoing efforts to foster a respectful and responsible workplace, our values are the blueprint for how we operate.

Over the past year, we’ve continued to evolve by expanding wellness programs, launching leadership development opportunities, and investing in the tools our people need to succeed. These initiatives aren’t about checking a box. They’re about creating a workplace where people can grow, stay, and thrive.

Support That Grows With You

One of the reasons Kloeckner was named a Top Workplace is because our people feel supported in their professional and personal growth. Regardless of whether someone is just starting their career or stepping into a leadership role, we offer resources and opportunities to help them advance. That commitment to long-term support is a key part of what makes Kloeckner a great place to work.

Here are just a few of the programs that contribute to that experience:

• Management Development Programs
  • Leadership training for first-time managers
  • Global development program for future leaders
• Professional Development
  • On-demand professional e-learning catalog
  • Tuition and education assistance programs
• Career Growth
  • Clear career paths into management
  • Opportunities to work on global projects and assignments
• Benefits
  • Health & Welfare: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, accident, pet insurance, and legal plans
  • Financial: 401(k), annual bonus opportunities, and tuition reimbursement
  • Wellness: Paid Time Off (PTO), Annual Wellness Stipend, paid volunteer time, and employee assistance programs

These offerings aren’t one-size-fits-all. Instead, we built them to meet people where they are and help them take the next step, wherever that leads.

A Milestone, and a Motivator

Winning a Top Workplace award is a proud moment, but it’s also a reminder to keep going. We know there’s always more work to do to strengthen our culture and support our teams. We’ll continue to listen, learn, and take action on the things that matter most to our people.

Thank You to Our Team!

This recognition belongs to every single member of the Kloeckner team. Thank you for showing up every day with grit, heart, and dedication.
