Falcon Steel America (FSA), a steel structure designer, engineer and fabricator, announced today that it has acquired a 226,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Conroe, Texas. The addition of the new plant, sited on 25 acres, will more than double the company's manufacturing capacity for high voltage steel-lattice towers and commercial galvanizing and dulling operations.
FSA anticipates hiring 150 local skilled and unskilled workers, including quality assurance and quality control inspectors, welders, fitters, machine operators and truck drivers in the near term.
FSA builds and galvanizes steel monopoles and substations and is the only fabricator of high voltage steel-lattice towers in the United States. At the new Conroe facility, the company will first establish its fabrication line, followed by its galvanizing line. Within the first year of operations, FSA will expand production to monopoles.
