Steel service center Willbanks Metals Inc. is expanding in Fort Worth, Texas.
The company recently purchased property across the street from the current location of its headquarters and flat-rolled steel sheet and plate service center, allowing it to expand with a new Red Bud stretcher leveler and additional processing equipment.
“We are thrilled to continue growing our volume and capabilities in the Fort Worth area,” said chief commercial officer Ryan Letz in a statement sent to SMU.
Family-owned Willbanks offers a variety of processing and fabrication capabilities including decoiling, cutting to length, roll forming, shearing, and welding. It operates two locations in Fort Worth — one for flat-rolled products and the other for structural long products.
