Eddie Kane Steel Products, Inc. announced this week the addition of its newest distribution facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
According to the company, the opening of the new sales, warehouse, and distribution center will allow it to better service its hot-rolled carbon steel plate customers in the South.
“This latest expansion of Eddie Kane Steel in central Alabama means significant freight savings for our customers in the Southern U.S. and Mexico, which is absolutely important to fabricators and processors as fuel prices as well as raw material prices continue to rise,” said Augustine F.X. (Gus) Kane, President of Eddie Kane Steel Products, Inc.
The strategically located facility will also mean faster delivery times for many of the company’s customers. Kane pointed out that the opening of the Tuscaloosa facility represents a critical move in solidifying Eddie Kane Steel’s presence in the South and one that has been in the planning stages for years.
“Eddie Kane Steel’s growth across the U.S. in the last three years is part of the company’s plan to establish and strengthen strategic relationships with mill suppliers and our customers. We have also been increasing our inventory and processing capacities at each of our locations to create a win-win relationship with our vendors and customers,” commented Kane.
Founded in January 2000 as a carbon and alloy steel distributor, Eddie Kane Steel Products opened its first value-added processing facility in Masury, Ohio, in 2005 as part of a growth plan to increase product value through processing and improved services. With the new Alabama facility, Eddie Kane Steel Products now has sales, distribution, and processing centers in Masury, Ohio; Los Angeles; Hertford County, N.C.; Chicago; and Tuscaloosa. The company’s processing capabilities include high-definition plasma and oxy-fuel flame cutting, shearing, bending, light machining, and many other customer-requested processes and services, all of which enable the company to support its valuable and diverse customer base. The company’s corporate office is in Sea Girt, N.J., with additional sales offices in Maine and New Jersey.
