The selection of Houston for the company’s first physical location provides strategic advantages, considering the Port of Houston is one of the largest steel ports in North America, with a total steel tonnage of more than 1.3 million tons in the first quarter of 2022.

“Until now, we have relied exclusively on the vast network of toll warehouses and processors here in the USA.

The facility includes both indoor and outdoor storage space and a state-of-the-art Pro Eco Slitting Line with specifications that include:
