Feralloy, Other Processors Setting Up Shop Near New SDI Mill
Written by Tim Triplett
Feralloy Corporation., a subsidiary of Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co., is planning to build a massive service center on the site of Steel Dynamics Inc.’s new flat rolled mill under construction in Sinton, Texas, near Corpus Christi. The new warehousing and processing center will be known as Acero Prime-Feralloy Texas. Acero Prime is Feralloy’s subsidiary in Mexico, where it operates four service centers.
Sources tell Steel Market Update that the greenfield service center under construction on seven acres adjacent to SDI’s new mill will have the capacity to process 600,000 tons per year of hot rolled, cold rolled, P&O and galvanized, as well as painted and embossed product. It will house a Fagor light-gauge and a Butech heavy-gauge slitter and a Butech stretcher leveler cut-to-length line, along with a climate-controlled warehouse. Operations are expected to begin in this year’s third quarter. The facility will process steel for supply chains on both sides of the border.
