Central States Manufacturing Inc., a supplier of metal-building components and roofing for self-storage and other industries, received a 2026 “Metal of Honor” Award from Shield Wall Media. It’s the fourth time the company has received the accolade, which recognizes excellence and quality products within the metal-construction and roofing sector, according to a press release.
Readers of “Frame Building News,” “Metal Builder,” “Metal Roofing Magazine,” “Roofing Elements” and “Rural Builder” were asked to vote in an online poll in December to identify companies they believe excel in categories such as competitive pricing, dependable delivery, excellent service and quality of products. If a company wasn’t listed, voters could simply write them in. The winners were determined based on number of votes received. They’ll be featured in the April edition of “Metal Roofing Magazine.”
“Each year, metal-roofing professionals vote for the suppliers they trust most, those delivering outstanding product quality, dependable service, on-time delivery and exceptional support,” said Gary Reichert, publisher for Shield Wall Media. “The Metal of Honor allows ‘Metal Roofing Magazine’ to recognize those exceptional companies selected by our readers.”
