About Me

Barry Zekelman took over his family's steel business at age 19 and has since grown it into one of North America's largest steel pipe and tube makers. He sold the company to the Carlyle Group in 2006 for some $1.2 billion, but continued to help run it. He and his family bought it back in 2011. Today Barry and his two brothers, Clayton and Alan Zekelman, split 100% ownership of the $3.3 billion (revenues) firm, now named Zekelman Industries. The company has also pumped more than $1 billion into Z Modular, a division that is developing modular apartment complexes in places such as Texas, Arizona and Canada.
