Leadership Passes to Fourth Generation at Sandmeyer Steel Co.
06/03/2026 - Sandmeyer Steel Co. announced it has appointed R. Paul Sandmeyer III as its president and chief operating officer, marking the transition to fourth-generation family leadership as the company celebrates 75 years.
The company was founded by Paul’s great-grandfather, Paul C. Sandmeyer. Leadership eventually transitioned to his grandfather, Ronald P. Sandmeyer, and then his father, Ronald P. Sandmeyer Jr. All members of the family previously served as president of the company.
Paul joined the company 12 years ago; his most recent position was executive vice president.
“Having worked alongside Paul over the past 12 years, I have tremendous confidence in his leadership, his deep understanding of our business, and his commitment to the values, people, and customer relationships that have defined our company for generations,” said Ronald P. Sandmeyer Jr., chief executive officer of Sandmeyer, about passing the position of president to Paul.
The transition will see Ronald stepping back from day-to-day responsibilities. He will continue to serve as chairman and chief executive officer.
“Our company’s success has always been built on strong relationships, quality products, and the dedication of our employees. I look forward to building on that foundation as we continue to serve our customers, invest in our future and grow together,” said Paul.
