Commercial Metals Co. announced the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of the J. L. Davidson Co.'s rebar fabricating facility located in Rialto, Calif.

The Rialto facility will become the new home of the company’s C&M Steel facility currently located in
Fontana, Calif. As a supplier to fabricators, C&M Steel enjoys an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base. The newly acquired facility and equipment will allow C&M Steel to expand its fabricated rebar supply to other fabricators, to grow its supply of fabricated rebar to fab customers and to expand its supply of niche specialty and accessory products. This facility is owned by CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. and will operate as part of CMC's Domestic Fabrication operating segment.

Binh Huynh, Executive Vice President and Regional Manager, Far West Rebar Division, said, "Our acquisition of the Rialto facility of the J. L. Davidson Co. will not only strengthen our presence in the western U.S. and improve our opportunity to grow in the region, but will also position Commercial Metals Co. for a growing market as fabrication demand returns."

Headquartered in Irving, Texas, Commercial Metals Co. and its subsidiaries manufacture, recycle and market steel and metal products, related materials and services through a network including steel minimills, steel fabrication and processing plants, construction-related product warehouses, a copper tube mill, metal recycling facilities and marketing and distribution offices in the United States and in strategic overseas markets.
