Arch Steel is a steel company owned and founded by Nathan Arch Sr, a titan in the industry. It is also the biggest sponsor of The Joey Drew Show.[1]

History

Early life

After resigning from the Signal Corps Radio Laboratories, Nathan Arch would go on to become a businessman. He would enter the steel industry and found Arch Steel. The company would get wealthy and very successful by 1927, and Nathan would become well known. In 1941, after surviving Prohibition and the Great Depression, the company would reach a point where it would be considered a titan in the industry.[2]

Sponsorship

In early 1953, Arch Steel sponsored The Joey Drew Show, thanks to Nathan Arch and Joey Drew being close friends. The company provided enough financial support that its name was seen in the show's waiting screen and it is stated to be "bringing" said show to the audience.

Behind the scenes

While never mentioned by name, Nathan is stated to be in the steel industry multiple times in the Bendy: The Illusion of Living novel, implying he had a steel company. This was confirmed in Bendy: Fade to Black as Arch Steel was mentioned by name couple times.
