Description There's been no word on what happened to Barbera, but Hanna Steel specializes in steel tubing and painted steel products. Operating from facilities in Alabama and Illinois, the company makes mechanical and hollow structural steel tubing and provides heavy gauge coil coating and dry film lube processing services. The company's Hanna Truck Line division then delivers the steel shipments to customers. Hanna Steel was founded in 1954 by Gen. Walter "Crack" Hanna and is still family-owned. Pete Hanna, son of the company's founder, serves as chairman and CEO.
