South Lyon, Michigan-based carbon and alloy seamless cold-drawn pipe and tube manufacturer MST Seamless Tube & Pipe is investing $4.5 million for a quenched-and-tempered heat treat line at its manufacturing plant. MST has produced quenched and tempered products for years, but the investment will bring the process in-house, resulting in increased efficiency.

"The Quench and Temper line gives us the ability to serve our customers better because we can provide even quicker response and delivery," said Les Whitver, Vice President of Operations. Bringing the process in-house allows for quick change over from order to order, reduced lead times and the ability to react to emergency repair situations more quickly.

MST anticipates the new line to be fully operational by late spring of 2012.
