The Steel Tube Institute was formed in 1930 when a group of manufacturers joined forces to advance the steel tube industry. Today it is the leading technical resource in North America for steel tube products. STI is dedicated to advancing the growth and competitiveness of North America’s steel tubular products. Our strength is bringing together resources to move the industry forward through active collaboration. We accomplish this by effective promotion, education, and problem solving, targeting all trades from engineers and architects to producers, fabricators and field installers.
