COMMUNITY

A TIME

INVOLVEMENT

TO REFLECT

As Bedford County students geared up for a new academic year, our team stepped in to help by contributing directly to school supplies and classroom essentials, ensuring students and teachers have what they need to succeed. We also kicked off another exciting year of the Cooper Steel Reading and Attendance programs, which were welcomed with enthusiasm by students, faculty, and parents alike. These initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to fostering lifelong learning, growth, and development in our community. We’re proud to stand behind our local schools and invest in building a stronger tomorrow for our community. BEDFORD COUNTY BACK TO SCHOOL

WALMART TOPPING - OUT Coming in at more than 4,200 tons of steel and +640,000 square feet , our Walmart topping-out ceremony in Garrett, Indiana marked a major milestone for both our fabrication and self-perform teams. The project, which totaled over 32,000 fabrication hours, was a testament to Cooper Steel’s commitment to teamwork, perseverance, and coordination, and we’re proud of everyone who contributed to make it a success.

At Cooper Steel, we believe rather than just avoiding risk, safety should be about creating an environment where employees can thrive and where the well-being of employees and customers is a core value. In June, we celebrated National Safety Month with our shop team, reinforcing our Safety STRONG culture and daily commitment to working safely. Safety STRONG, which stands for stop, think, respond, ownership, navigate, and growth, helps our team work together to ensure everyone returns home safely to their families at the end of every day.

NATIONAL INTERN DAY We celebrated National Intern Day with 11 interns from eight different schools across our field and office locations this summer!
