Friedman plans expansion at Sinton processing plant
Written by Laura Miller
An expansion is being planned for Friedman Industries’ facility in Sinton, Texas.
The Longview, Texas-based processor announced it will increase the building’s size and add fabrication capabilities, including laser-cutting equipment.
“We are excited to expand our Sinton operations to include laser cutting capabilities,” said President and CEO Michael Taylor. “Since its completion in 2022, our Sinton facility has built an exceptional reputation for quality. It has benefited from a strong partner in Steel Dynamics, and we are eager to invest in that relationship.”
Friedman’s processing facility is located on the campus of SDI’s 3-million-ton-per-year flat-rolled mill in Sinton. The capabilities expansion is meant “to serve customers seeking initial processing directly from a service center co-located at a mill source,” Friedman noted.
“These additional processing capabilities represent a strategic supply solution for our customers by offering service center source fabrication that can improve efficiency and reduce handling throughout the supply chain,” Taylor added.
