Mill Steel Co. announced it is relocating its Houston operations to a bigger facility at the Port of Houston.
The flat-rolled distributor said the new location will have direct access to the port, enabling it to deliver material to customers more quickly.
“Our move to a portside facility in Houston reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering excellent service and supply chain efficiency to our customers,” said CEO Pam Heglund. “With this new location, we’ll be able to streamline our operations, enhance turnaround times, and expand our capabilities to better serve the growing demand in the region.”
The 100,000-square-foot port facility will be equipped with a high-speed slitter. It will feature precision leveling capabilities and be capable of handling 72” wide coils in gauges ranging from 0.015 “to 0.250”.
The location will stock Mill Steel’s complete line of offerings. That includes flat-rolled carbon and stainless steels, aluminum, and metal framing products. End-use markets include construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and other industrial applications.
An exact move-in timeline is forthcoming, the company said. It noted that both Houston locations will operate simultaneously during the startup period.
“As Mill Steel continues its transition, customers can expect uninterrupted service and enhanced logistics benefits from the new location,” it added.
The new facility is located ~30 miles from Mill Steel’s current location, east of downtown Houston.
Mill Steel is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich., and operates seven service center locations in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Alabama, and Texas. Founded in 1959, it is a third-generation family-owned business.
