    Written by David Schollaert

    Canadian distributor Russel Metals has expanded its U.S. footprint by agreeing to acquire Arkansas-based service center Boyd Metals. The deal, valued at $110 million, includes all five of Boyd’s facilities.

    Boyd’s operations in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas deliver a product mix primarily comprised of carbon steel products. The company also offers stainless steel, aluminum and other industrial products as well as associated value-added processing services.
