United Steel Supply, Austin, Texas, has acquired Paramount Coils, Inc., and Alpine Building Materials, LLC. The acquisition of the two companies gives United Steel Supply coast-to-coast coverage and distribution in the United States. The two brands will assume the United Steel Supply name.
Paramount Coils has locations in both Springdale, Ark., and Kingsbury, Ind., while Alpine Building Materials has its headquarters in Eugene, Ore. “Paramount has always had a stellar reputation for integrity and services and has been a great competitor for many years. We intend to continue with their culture of service their customers have come to expect,” said Bret Curtis, president of United Steel Supply.
Former owner of Alpine, Gordon Locke, stated, “It has always been a goal of mine to leave Alpine’s customers in good hands. I feel that no company can do that better than United Steel Supply. I am already seeing some advantages for our customers, such as their buying power and warehouse distribution program, which is already well known in the industry.”
United Steel Supply is a supplier of high-quality flat rolled steel coils, furnishing Galvalume, galvanized and prepainted steel coils for metal roofing and siding applications to the agricultural, commercial, industrial and residential markets, both domestically and internationally.
