What We Offer Who We Are Calculators Contact “WHEN WE SAY WE’RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, WE DO IT.” - JEROME E. KUSBEL II These words may sound simple, but we stake our reputation on every single job we take. Why? Because when buying steel is the lifeblood of your business, “close to perfect” just doesn’t cut it. It’s why we walk with you through every step of the manufacturing process and work day and night to deliver. It’s just the Kapital way. Industry-Leading Experience When we say steel is our passion, it’s not hyperbole. We can advise you on products, grades and applications, so you can cut out the guesswork and get going. Iron-Clad Guarantees We wouldn’t have been around this long if we didn’t follow through on our promises. Steel, when and how you need it, is the standard, not a pleasant surprise. Incomparable Efficiency Thanks to our unique partnerships and relationships, we can streamline your business like no one else. At Kapital Steel, efficiency is the name of the game. The Team of Steel Jerome E. Kusbel II PRESIDENT & OWNER In 1990, a new employee at Dietrich Steel Industries in Hammond, Indiana, discovered the two great loves of his life: his future wife, Dawn; and the steel industry. After earning his degree in economics from Purdue University Northwest, Jerome worked his way up to a high-profile position specializing in international expansion at several steel service centers. In conjunction with his customer knowledge abroad, he has also been to over 30 steel mills globally. In 2015, leveraging 25 years of experience in the steel industry, Jerome founded Kapital Steel with colleagues Brian and John. A fluent Spanish speaker and consummate family man, Jerome lives in St. John, IN, with his two daughters. Brian E. Rusin CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER Managing the daily operations of a growing firm is no small feat, but Brian handles it all (and more) like the pro he is. Brian has worked in the banking industry for 25 years elevating up to Senior Vice-President Commercial Lending. Bringing 25 years of financial experience to Kapital, Brian joined as COO in 2018. Another Purdue University Northwest alum, Brian holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance and an MBA. He lives in Chesterton, IN, with his daughter. Cody McDonald OPERATIONS MANAGER New in town and new to our team, Cody came to us with extensive knowledge on manufacturing efficiency and the importance of material lead times. He’s originally from Virginia, and after gaining years of construction experience, he spent the most recent half-decade working in operations for MolsonCoors. An avid skier, Cody left the slopes of Colorado behind in pursuit of an exciting new opportunity at Kapital. He and his wife now live in Crown Point, IN, with their two daughters. John P. Boling PROJECT MANAGER One of our first employees at Kapital Steel, John serves as our Project Manager, overseeing special projects. Like Jerome, John began his career at Dietrich Steel Industries back in 1988 and was employed at ArcelorMittal for many years. John received a call from Jerome, who shared the idea for an exciting new venture. You guessed it…Kapital Steel. When he’s not putting his knowledge to work at the plant, you’ll find John souping up old cars or hitting the back nine near his home in Hobart, IN.
