Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based TMS International Corporation--the parent company of Tube City IMS Corporation--announced Wednesday that it has expanded its scrap yard operation in Taichung, Taiwan to accommodate TMS' growth in its raw materials segment. The Taichung operation sources, imports, processes and distributes raw materials to Taiwanese steel mills, and the relocated and enhanced scrap yard will almost double the production capacity and enable the company to meet increasing demand for steel making raw materials in the region.
"With the increased demand it became clear that we would need to expand our yard operation," said J. David Aronson, President and COO, Raw Material and Optimization Group. "This expansion strengthens our role and relationships with our customers and ensures we will continue to provide necessary raw materials on a cost effective and on time delivery basis to them."
