We are thrilled to announce that Tampa Steel & Supply has been selected as a finalist for the prestigious 15th Annual GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Awards. This recognition underscores our deep commitment to growth, innovation in our industry, and being a strong part of our community.
GrowFL’s Florida Companies to Watch program honors Florida’s most dynamic second-stage businesses — companies that are past the startup phase but still small-to-medium-sized — demonstrating exceptional growth, innovation, and leadership. The finalists advance through two rigorous judging rounds before the top 50 honorees are selected. This year’s Awards Gala is set for February 26, 2026, at Hard Rock Live, Universal CityWalk in Orlando, where the top honorees will be celebrated.
Proudly Serving Florida for Over Four Decades
We’ve been serving West Central Florida’s steel and metal supply needs proudly since 1983, starting as a small division business and growing into one of the largest suppliers in the Tampa Bay Area. As we’ve continued to expand, our team has remained dedicated to providing exemplary service and building lasting relationships by offering our customers the right metal at the right time.
Being named a finalist places us among some of the leading companies in the state, and the entire team is honored by this recognition, which validates much of the planning and hard work that we’ve put into making Tampa Steel & Supply a leader in our region.
A Rigorous Selection Process
For 2025, there were more than 500 nominations from more than 60 organizations across Florida. To be eligible as a Florida Companies to Watch finalist, companies must have employed between six and 150 people and generated between $750,000 and $100 million in revenue in 2024. A thorough review and selection committee narrowed the field to an impressive group of finalists, which together employed more than 3,000 people and generated over $1 billion in revenue last year alone. These companies project a combined 20% revenue growth and a 22% increase in jobs by the end of 2025.
“We are excited to recognize these outstanding companies,” said Robert Newland, Chair of GrowFL. “Their achievements exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our state’s economy forward. These finalists inspire us all with their dedication to innovation and growth.”
