O’Neal Steel is expanding with the opening of a new metal distribution center in St. Joseph, Mo. The 64,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center will open on June 1.
“We are thrilled about our expansion into the St. Joseph market. This new facility opening aligns with growing demand in the area, and we are extremely well positioned to support that demand,” said Stephen Armstrong, president and CEO, O’Neal Steel. “This opening is another step toward our company’s long-term growth strategy and directly reflects our recent market share growth in the metal service center industry.”
The warehouse will initially serve one strategic partner, but the company plans to offer wholesale metal distribution and select processing capabilities throughout the market in the near future.
O’Neal Steel, headquartered in Birmingham, Ala., and an O’Neal Industries affiliate, supplies a wide range of carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel, and aluminum products for companies nationwide. The new warehouse is O’Neal’s 19th facility and the first in Missouri.
