Spring Lake, New Jersey-based Eddie Kane Steel Products, Inc., a distributor and value-added processor of carbon and alloy steel, has opened a new distribution facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Tuscaloosa location will focus on serving hot rolled carbon plate customers in the South.
"This latest expansion of Eddie Kane Steel in central Alabama means significant freight savings for our customers in the Southern US and Mexico, which is absolutely important to fabricators and processors as fuel prices as well as raw material prices continue to rise," said Augustine F.X. (Gus) Kane, President of Eddie Kane Steel Products, Inc. This strategically located facility will also mean faster delivery times for many of the company's customers. Kane pointed out that the opening of the Tuscaloosa facility represents a critical move in solidifying Eddie Kane Steel's presence in the South and one that has been in the planning stages for years.
With the new Alabama facility, Eddie Kane Steel Products now has sales, distribution, and processing centers in Masury, Ohio; Los Angeles, California; Hertford County, North Carolina; Chicago, Illinois; and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
