Golden Anniversary
MBCI Marks 50 Years, Expands Commercial Metal Reach
Metal Sales integration broadens services
MBCI, a brand within Cornerstone Building Brands’ Metal Solutions business, celebrates 50 years of customer partnership and continued momentum as it expands capabilities and support for metal wall and roof projects.
MBCI, a metal building components brand within Cornerstone Building Brands, is marking its 50th anniversary while expanding its commercial construction offerings through the integration of assets acquired from Metal Sales in 2025.
Founded in Houston in 1976 by A.R. Ginn and his partners, MBCI began as a small metal components operation and has grown into a national supplier of metal wall and roof systems, structural components, trim and accessories.
Over the past five decades, the company has introduced innovations, including standing-seam roofing systems and high-wind products such as SuperLok, while expanding its portfolio to include roof, wall, structural, and energy-efficient building systems.
As part of its next phase of growth, MBCI is adding the Metal Sales Commercial & Industrial segment to its portfolio, providing customers with access to a manufacturing and distribution network of more than 100 locations across North America. The integration also expands MBCI’s architectural metal panel offerings with additional profiles and finish options.
"We're especially excited about expanding our architectural metal panel offerings by bringing capabilities from Metal Sales into the MBCI brand," said Mike Pegues, vice president of growth excellence for Metal Solutions.
MBCI is also expanding its project support services by integrating the Metal Sales CIA Hub. The enhanced Project Solutions team will provide support for estimating, scope alignment, product selection and project coordination, bringing together roofing, wall systems, structural components and architectural panels into a single package for complex projects.
"This is a meaningful step forward in how we support our customers on more complex roof & wall projects," said Jon O'Leary, vice president and general manager of components for Cornerstone Building Brands' Metal Solutions business.
The company is commemorating the milestone with a yearlong campaign, "A Legacy of Momentum: Honoring the First 50 Years of MBCI," recognizing five decades of product innovation, growth and partnerships with customers across North America.
