Kloeckner Expands in Greenville to House New Slitter

Kloeckner Metals is investing $11.3 million to expand its Greenville, S.C., operations. The expansion will add 50,000 square feet to the facility to house a new high-speed slitting line capable of processing aluminum and advanced high-strength steel. The company plans to begin operating the new line by Sept. 1.

“We wanted a slitting line that would look forward to the future of processing ever-more-demanding customer specifications, including advanced, automotive-grade steel and aluminum. We specified a highly automated line with sophisticated technology features that will deliver a highly efficient and capable value proposition for our mill partners and customers,” said Kloeckner Metals Vice President Automotive Bob Cromley.
