Lock Joint Tube/Steel Warehouse of Tennessee, a steel plate processing plant, announced Friday plans to expand its Chattanooga facility with an additional 1.7 acres in Hamilton County's Centre South Riverport Industrial Park to accommodate the addition of 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The expansion will cost approximately $2 million and allow the company to extend into additional marketplaces not currently served by the Chattanooga facility.
In addition to processing steel plates used to build construction equipment, agricultural equipment, transmission towers, pressure vessels and structural fabricators, the company produces tubular steel products used in the lawn and garden, exercise and residential and commercial climate control systems industries.
