Butech Bliss has been selected to design, manufacture, and install a new 5/8" x 96" wide heavy gauge stretch leveling cut-to-length line for installation at Jemison Demsey Metals’ new coil processing center in Decatur, Ala. The equipment will process a wide range of products including hot rolled carbon steel, HRPO, cold rolled steel and galvanized steel. This state-of-the-art line includes Butech Bliss’ patent pending Synergy Leveling System™ and an AC driven shear with camber compensation. The line includes systems to measure flatness, width and material thickness.

Al Waigand, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Butech Bliss said, "We are excited to be a part of this project because it matches our strength as a manufacturer of heavy gauge processing line equipment with one of Jemison Demsey’s needs in an important core business segment."

According to Bill Werner, Executive Vice President of Sales at Jemison Demsey Metals, "After significant research, it became very apparent that Butech Bliss was the right partner to build this industry leading, turnkey heavy gauge stretcher leveler. Construction of Phase I of our new facility in Decatur, Ala., is currently underway and we anticipate we will be in full production in the third quarter of 2013. Future expansion plans will triple the plant size over the next several years and further improve our footprint in the mid-south and southeastern markets. We believe that with this new processing capability and our new location in Decatur, Ala., our customers will be delighted with our carbon sheet quality and our improved logistical advantages."
