“It provides us with a solid platform for accelerating growth in two target market segments – carbon-coated and stainless steel,” Andrew Greiff, Olympic president and chief operating officer, said in a statement.
The Cleveland-based metals service center also announced it has increased the size of its asset-based revolving credit facility from $475 million to $625 million.
The company said its total debt under the revolving credit facility is approximately $297 million, with availability of approximately $280 million, leaving significant capital to continue its diversification strategy.
