Biography
In 1963, E. L. Stephens and C. L. Baird, Sr. were convinced that durable, custom light gauge metal roofing and siding products were the wave of the future. That year, the two men left their jobs at Reynolds Aluminum Supply Company and founded a new company in Louisville, Kentucky, called Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation. By 1966, Metal Sales was delivering orders of custom-cut and ready-to-install metal roofing and siding panels with matching accessories to customers within 7 to 10 days.
