Description: WOR Worthington Industries

Worthington Enterprises (NYSE: WOR), formerly Worthington Industries, is a Columbus, Ohio-based industrial manufacturer founded in 1955 that operates through two reportable segments. The Consumer Products segment supplies hand tools, torches, lighters, propane cylinders, helium balloon kits, gas grills, and pizza ovens under brands such as Bernzomatic, Coleman, Balloon Time, Mag-Torch, Level5, Pactool International, and Worthington Pro Grade, selling primarily through mass merchandisers, retailers, and distributors. The Building Products segment produces pressurized containment solutions-including refrigerant cylinders, LPG cylinders, well water and expansion tanks, fire suppression and chemical tanks, and ceiling suspension systems-serving HVAC, residential, commercial, and light industrial end markets.

Although WOR is classified within the GICS Materials sector (Steel sub-industry), its current operating model is anchored in branded consumer goods and engineered pressure vessels rather than primary steelmaking. The shares have traded as a mid-cap on the NYSE since the companys 1990 IPO.
