Grand Rapids, Michigan-based flat steel distributor and service center Mill Steel Co. announced today that it has expanded its operations and geographic presence with the opening of a new facility in Houston, Texas.
The 100,000 square-foot facility includes slitting and cut-to-length capabilities, with three production lines with the capability of slitting 50,000 lb of master coils up to 60" wide and .015-.250" thick.
