Steel Equipment Specialists (SES), located in Alliance, OH, has been in business for over 45 years in the Steel industry producing a wide array of steel handling equipment and services. From a handful of engineers who started the company to the 170-strong member team currently at SES, they have continued to be a leading supplier for metal, metal forming and all related industries. SES has innovated and produced equipment solutions in areas like transfer cars and transporters, slab handling, long product and processing, strip processing, coil handling, tension leveling, under the hook, and other custom-designed specialty equipment.

SES has a long and deeply-valued history with YSU engineering majors and has been a regular attendee at the STEM Expo, giving them the exposure to hire great candidates and develop high-caliber engineers through their internship program. In the summer of 2022, SES hosted 3 outstanding interns from YSU (all of whom are returning or being hired full-time upon graduation) and they look forward to continuing to develop the relationship to provide interns with meaningful, rich and rewarding real-world experiences in engineering and equipment manufacturing. At SES, interns work side by side with engineers on current projects and gain valuable experience that builds their resumes for the future.

The company has benefitted immensely from the quality graduates that the YSU STEM program has continued to grow and produce. Many YSU grads have joined the SES team over the years, and the majority have gone on to establish themselves as the company’s strongest up-and-coming employees such as Chief Engineers, Senior Project Designers, and Senior Project Managers.
