New Castle Steel Partners with O’Connor & Associates to Expand National Reach
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
American-made steel deck framing joins OCA’s outdoor living portfolio across nearly 40 states.
MARIETTA, Ga., September 1, 2026. New Castle Steel has partnered with O’Connor & Associates, LTD. (OCA), a leading outsourced sales and consulting agency serving the building industry since 1979, to represent its American-made steel deck framing systems across much of the United States. The partnership brings a stronger, longer-lasting frame to more dealers, distributors, and contractors than ever before.
New Castle Steel’s framing joins an OCA portfolio that already includes aluminum railing systems, premium decking, and deck enclosure systems, giving customers a complete, compatible outdoor living solution from a single trusted source. As demand for outdoor living continues to grow, the partnership makes it easier for professionals nationwide to specify and source a frame engineered to outlast the boards it supports.
“We build New Castle Steel to outlast the boards sitting on top of it, and we build it right here in America,” said Jason Alloway, founder of New Castle Steel. “Partnering with OCA puts that product in front of a lot more contractors and homeowners, through a team that has earned trust in this industry for over forty years. When you make something to last a lifetime, you want to work with people who will stand behind it.”
For OCA, the addition reflects a decades-long focus on simplifying how the industry buys. “Since 1979, our job has been to make specifying and buying outdoor living products simpler for dealers, distributors, and contractors,” said Steve Lonsway, President of OCA Sales. “Adding New Castle Steel to our portfolio does exactly that. Their steel framing systems complement the railing, decking, and enclosure lines we already represent, so our customers can now build a complete, high-performance outdoor space from a single trusted source.”
OCA will represent New Castle Steel in the following territories: Alabama, Arizona, Southern California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Las Vegas, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
