Today, Worthington has earned a position as one of the nation's largest steel processors by serving customers with specialized needs, and in the 1980s, built a large custom plastic capability. The company produces metal framing for construction, body panels for cars, railcar castings, and pre-formed dashboard assemblies for major automakers. Jeffrey L.
