Titan Steel, based in Alvarado, Texas, specializes in plasma and oxy-fuel cutting and machining of steel plate. The acquisition will allow Leeco to produce parts that require precision machining and milling.

The purchase closed on June 30. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. As of July 5, Titan’s facility will be known as Leeco Steel Alvarado.

Leeco has been steadily expanding its processing services to complement its offerings as the largest North American supplier of steel plate, but this is its first acquisition.

“The addition of the Titan Steel facility allows us to expand our value-added processing services and our market reach. Titan’s core values of quality, safety and customer satisfaction made the company a natural fit with Leeco, and we look forward to seeing how this addition sets us up for future growth,” commented Leeco president and CEO Denton Nordhues in a statement.
