About Us
The Mission
At MRI Steel Framing, our mission is to deliver the highest-quality, American-made steel framing solutions with uncompromising reliability. We forge strong partnerships with our distribution customers while empowering contractors and panelizers with the dependable materials they need to build with confidence.
The Foundation
Since 2004, MRI Steel Framing has been a trusted manufacturer of full-gauge and equivalent flat-steel framing components built for strength, precision, and performance. Our industry-leading lineup includes the 27mil MRI Smart® 20ga EQ Stud and the 19/21mil PrimeWall® 20ga EQ Stud—engineered to outperform other equivalent (EQ) products on the market.
Proudly American-owned and operated, MRI is led by a seasoned leadership team with more than 150 years of combined industry experience. We serve a growing multi-regional network of distributors, panelizers, and contractors who trust MRI for our product quality, responsive support, and consistent delivery of traditional and EQ framing solutions.
Every cold-formed component we manufacture is backed by our expert team and supported by rigorous certifications in quality, safety, and performance. When you choose MRI, you’re choosing dependability you can build on.
The Components
At MRI, quality isn’t just a goal—it’s built into every step of our process. From raw material sourcing to final delivery, we continually refine our operations to better serve our customers.
Our steel coil purchasing process starts with compliance—we only source material that meets or exceeds IBC 2021 standards. No aftermarket coatings. No cold-rolled reductions. Just verified, high-quality steel you can trust.
The Equipment
Precision begins with the right tools. That’s why MRI products are roll-formed using advanced Bradbury and B&K/Formtek Super Mills—delivering exceptional accuracy, consistency, and speed.
Our technology allows us to:
- Produce exact lengths with high-speed output (up to 500 LF/min)
- Knurl web flanges for easier handling
- Fulfill custom length and packaging requests with minimal lead times
To complete the experience, we deliver your order using MRI’s private fleet—equipped with Moffetts for convenient, on-site unloading.
