About Us

Our company locations in Redding and Woodland allow us to work together to provide our customers the products and services they need to complete their projects, whether for themselves or their customers.

We also cover many communities in Northern California with our delivery trucks right to your jobsite. Our sales and delivery staff primarily cover territory up to the southern Oregon border in the north, central California to the south, the Bay Area to the west, and northeastern California/Northern Nevada border to the east. Our machinery sales serve customers from the Canadian border to Southern California and east to the Rocky Mountains. We are a family owned business, in continuous operation at the same location in Redding California since 1929.

Gerlinger Steel was established in Redding, CA in 1929. At that time, Fred Gerlinger Sr. and his son Bert, purchased and rebuilt the damaged Foundry and Machine Shop that had operated since 1905. The Steel and Industrial Supply division was added in the late 1930’s, utilizing salvaged material from the fire that engulfed McCormick Saeltzer "Big Store."

To better serve our customers, metal fabrication and processing services were added to the Gerlinger arsenal in the 1980’s. While starting out in humble beginnings of a fought-over shear, those services have since expanded to include: master sheet plate burning, sheet and tube laser cutting, high capacity press brake and roll services, as well as a full welding and machine shop.

The early 1990’s saw the addition of Gerlinger’s first alternate location, located in Sacramento California, which expanded the processing capabilities of the company at that time. More importantly, the crossroads-located city provided the family with a better position to service their customers south of the Bay Area and east in to Reno. The operation was moved to Woodland, just across the river from Sacramento, in 2013 to a larger facility that could accommodate the increasing number of fully-automated equipment employed in the Gerlinger processing shops.

Gerlinger Steel & Supply has served construction, precious metal, lumber, aggregate mining, and agriculture industries in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area. Through the passage of time, Gerlinger Steel continues to expand and evolve its services as the needs of its customers change, offering full lines of metals, fabrication equipment, industrial hardware, and fabrication services. It has also expanded its areas that it services customers, at times providing delivery services south through the San Joaquin and east to Nevada. Regularly the sales and warehouse teams coordinate machinery shipments across the Western United States.

Gerlinger Steel & Supply is a fourth generation family owned and operated business. It is constantly striving to serve its customers and provide the highest quality services as efficiently as possible.
