Butler, Pennsylvania-based steel distribution company Marmon/Keystone announced Tuesday the completion of a 105,000-square-foot service center near Birmingham, Alabama. The facility was completely rebuilt from the ground up after sustaining severe damage from an EF3 tornado, which devastated the area in January 2012. All operations have been relocated back to the Goodrich Drive service center from a temporary site on Pinson Valley Parkway without any interruption to sales, service or delivery.
The office and warehouse facility features five overhead cranes, three new Amada high-speed band saws and a new DoALL miter saw. These fully automated saws will increase productivity and offer expanded cutting capabilities up to 26" OD. The building also includes a steel-reinforced concrete storm shelter.
Marmon/Keystone's Birmingham location serves customers in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and the majority of Kentucky and Tennessee. Major markets include agriculture, automotive, fabrication and heavy equipment.
