About

International Steel & Counterweights exists to provide customers with low cost, quality steel fabrications for use as counterweights, fabrications, weldments and steel supply.

Our mission at International Steel & Counterweights is to provide the
highest-quality products possible utilizing low-cost raw materials. Our success depends on customer satisfaction. As a policy, we do what it takes to ensure that satisfaction.

International Steel & Counterweights’ management has experience in the manufacturing of steel parts dating back to the 1950s.

This experience led them to realize that there was an unmet need in supplying industrial manufacturers with low-cost but high-quality steel components to be used as non-critical parts for various equipment products. Sourcing raw materials from steel mills from around the world, they began focusing exclusively on supplying cut parts, fabrications and weldments crafted from quality steel that was being overlooked and underutilized.

In 2010, after managing successful manufacturing operations in Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania, John Pastor and Paul Vesey, along with an experienced team, launched International Steel & Counterweights. We have been running full speed ever since.

Located in Youngstown, Ohio in the heart of the Mahoning Valley — an area rich in steel-making history and tradition — International Steel & Counterweights leverages decades of experience and the heritage of its local tradition to maximize value for its customers.

In 2019, International Steel & Counterweights launched its ISC Elevator Parts division, which supplies elevator parts from its dedicated Youngstown, Ohio facility.
