EMJ's origins date back to the entrepreneurs of the last century - men like Earle M. Jorgensen, A.B. Murray, C.A. Roberts and Perry Kilsby who understood the needs of a growing U.S. economy, and created an industry to meet those needs. Through the efforts of these visionaries, EMJ has grown into one of the largest metal distributors in the world.A rich history has fueled EMJ's evolution. Jorgensen Steel and Aluminum was founded in 1921 and quickly became a highly-regarded name in the U.S. metal-working industry. Jorgensen grew to stock one of the country's largest inventories of bar, sheet, plate and structural steel and aluminum.In 1990, Jorgensen merged with Kilsby-Roberts, the largest distributor of specialty bar and tubing in the country. Kilsby-Roberts' origins date back to the C.A. Roberts Company, founded in 1915, and Kilsby Tube Supply, founded in 1946. The two companies merged in 1981 to become Kilsby-Roberts. In 1986, Kilsby-Roberts acquired the century-old A.B. Murray Company, and its status as the pre-eminent bar and tubing distributor in the country was assured.Kilsby's strengths in tubing and specialty bar products - joined with Jorgensen's presence in the general line steel and aluminum markets - created a powerful strategic alliance: EMJ. Now, those three simple initials bring together all the resources and know-how of its predecessors.
