Aciers Coste was founded in 1920 by Monsieur Coste. Initially, the company produced hardened steels for the manufacture of whalebones and crinolines used in corsets. Later, the company switched to rolling steel strip for the automotive and other industries. Over the years, the company has broadened its product range to include the production of stainless steels, which has become a major component of its business. It also took strategic decisions to diversify technically and become a key player in the market.

The history of Aciers Coste is characterized by milestones such as the move to the Felet industrial estate in 1991, the achievement of ISO 9002 and ISO 9001 quality certifications, and ISO 14001 environmental certification in 2004. The company has also invested in new infrastructure and equipment, such as reversible rolling mills, high-speed shears and H2 atmosphere annealing furnaces.
