Metal service center · St. Cloud, Minnesota
Midway Iron is St. Cloud's family-owned steel supplier and recycling yard. Call or email your order, drive through the warehouse, and we'll cut it to length, bend it and load you up. Steel going strong since 1959.
What we do
A full line of steel, aluminum and stainless in stock, plus the saws, shear, press brake and plasma tables to get it ready for your shop. Open to the public; walk-ins welcome.
Thousands of stock items in steel, aluminum and stainless. About 90% of our steel is made in the USA or Canada.
You don't have to buy a full 20' or 24' stick. We saw, shear and torch-cut to your length, and full lengths or full drops get two free torch cuts per piece.
Prototype pieces or production parts, cut from your file, sketch, template or photo. Holes off the HD table are bolt-ready.
Computer-controlled press brake for custom bent parts, plus sheet bending and hole punching. Brake work is scheduled on weekdays. Talk to Ben.
Authorized Crosby dealer. Trailer axles, hubs, couplers and jacks; chain and cable cut to length; hoists and binders; welding wire, rod and wheels.
The area's leading buyer of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, from a bucket of copper to a car body. Rolloff containers available. Recycling details
Good to know: we don't weld, but we can do most of the cutting, bending and prep so your order is ready to weld, and we're happy to recommend local shops that can finish it.

About Midway
Midway started in the 1940s as Midway Auto Wrecking on St. Cloud's east side. The scrap yard and steel supply became Midway Iron & Metal in 1959. The Lehnen family started working here in the early 1970s and bought the business in 1987.
Today Jason Lehnen runs Midway with his brother and sister, and the next generation is already learning the warehouse. We're Central Minnesota's family-owned, locally owned metal service center and recycling center, not a branch of an outside corporation.
Before you come in
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome for steel, aluminum, stainless and trailer parts. Orders are first come, first served, so calling ahead gets you in and out fastest.
No. We cut to length. Most stock comes in 20' to 24' lengths, and full lengths or full drops include two free torch cuts per piece. A few products are sold full length only.
Email a file or a sketch to plasma@midwayiron.com, bring in a template (cardboard, paper or an old part), pick from our library of nearly 3,000 stock images, or sit down with Brian and design it on the spot. We can only cut logos you own or have written permission to use.
Saturdays are for helping customers in the warehouse, so press brake and plasma work is scheduled on weekdays. Call by 2 p.m. Friday to have an order pulled for Saturday pickup.
Yes, in town and out of town, plus a weekly Thursday run to the Little Falls area. Call for delivery pricing.
Cut material and special orders can't be returned. Full lengths in good shape can be.
