The steel products segment manufactures steel joists, joist girders, steel deck, hollow structural section tubing, electrical conduit, fabricated reinforcing steel, cold finished steel, fasteners, grating, metal building systems, insulated metal panels, steel racking systems, overhead doors, and utility towers and structures. The raw materials segment produces direct reduced iron, brokers ferrous and non-ferrous metals through The David J. Joseph Company, supplies ferro-alloys, processes scrap metal, operates natural gas production wells, and provides industrial gas services through Universal Industrial Gases.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.
Fund ownership is a subset of institutional 13F ownership — the two describe overlapping populations and must not be added together.
