    Zekelman Invests $30 Million in Warehouse Automation at Wheatland Tube

    Written by David Schollaert


    Zekelman Industries plans to build a fully automated warehouse at its Wheatland Tube facility in Warren, Ohio. The highly automated, 83,000-square-foot warehouse is scheduled to begin operating in December 2022.

    The new warehouse will convey pipe from the production lines of the manufacturing facility into the warehouse storage system. From there, pipe is automatically moved out of storage to an enclosed truck loading area with minimal team interaction. The touchless product handling enabled by these automated systems will significantly increase safety and shipping capacity while eliminating product damage, the company said.
