Mill Steel, a distributor of flat rolled carbon steel, has announced the acquisition of certain assets of S&S Steel Services for an undisclosed amount.
S&S Steel Services, located in Anderson, Ind., is a supplier of carbon flat-rolled steel services serving manufacturing customers in the Midwest, Mid-South and Mid-Atlantic United States.
S&S will continue steel slitting and cut-to-length processing operations. Mill Steel expects to create an additional 20 sales and production jobs at the facility. Certain members of the leadership and commercial teams will remain in place.
In the coming months the 215,000 square-foot facility will receive installation of additional processing equipment that will increase existing production and distribution capabilities.
Mill Steel says the strategic acquisition is mutually beneficial for the two companies and will support Mill Steel’s growing automotive, construction, home appliance, agriculture, and HVAC business in the southeastern United States and Mexico.
Mill Steel, founded in 1959, is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich., and operates five service center locations in Grand Rapids and Melvindale (Detroit), Jeffersonville, Ind., Birmingham, Ala., and now Anderson, Ind.
