We are a well-established steel processor, tubing manufacturer and service center, operating in the Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-Western United States and in the Canadian provinces of Québec and Ontario. Since the inception of Acquired Company in 1979, we have grown our business internally through identifying and capturing niche opportunities in steel manufacturing and processing, and through selective acquisitions. We operate a network of 21 manufacturing, processing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada (excluding our Cambridge, Ontario processing facility which closed in May 2008). This has enabled us to become a well diversified, multi-process provider of value-added services in several processing and geographic niches. We believe we are one of the three primary producers in North America of hydroform quality tubing used by the automotive industry, and one of only two independent continuous process picklers in Canada. We also believe our in-line temper mill, which became operational in 2005, makes us the only provider of this high-precision service in Canada that is not integrated with a primary steel producer.
We process and distribute carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum products and operate as an intermediary between primary metal producers and the manufacturers that require processed metal, often on a just-in-time delivery basis. We produce steel tubing in various sizes for use in the structural and automotive markets (including tubing used in hydroforming). We also produce roll formed steel sections and manufacture heavy equipment parts and accessories. Our flat rolled processing capabilities include pickling, slitting, blanking, leveling, temper-rolling and cutting-to-length to precise customer specifications. Additionally, we perform many of these processing services for customers who provide their own steel, referred to in the industry as toll processing.
