Reliance Operations Unscathed by Harvey
Written by Tim Triplett
Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co., Los Angeles, reports that its operations in the Houston area suffered no material damage to facilities, equipment or inventories because of Hurricane Harvey. Many facilities were closed and unable to ship for most of last week due to the catastrophic flooding, but are now reopened and operational.
Reliance operates 13 locations in the storm-ravaged area. Their total sales represented approximately 4 percent of the company’s consolidated net sales in the first half of fiscal 2017.
