    Alro Steel to Acquire Access Metals

    Written by David Schollaert

    Alro Steel announced last week that it has entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of Access Metals, a Maryland-based metals service center. The transaction, terms of which were not disclosed, is expected to close on Sept. 30.

    Access Metals is a service center specializing in small orders of value-added and cut-to-size metals. Founded in 2006, the Baltimore-based metals service center serves the Mid-Atlantic manufacturing, machining, and fabricating industries.
