Service center fabricates its future/Independent company does more than simply distribute metal to thrive

摘要

Denraan & Davis calls itself the largest general-line, independent service cen-ter in the Northeast. The company has about 65,000 square feet of inventory and manufacturing space in Clifton, another 70,000 sq. ft. in Slatersville, R.I., and another 35,000 in Albany, N.Y. The company distributes a variety of hot-rolled and cold-finished bars, structural shapes, sheets, and tubing, in carbon, alloy, and stainless but has discovered a fruitful niche with plate, used in pressure vessel, power generation, and processing applications. In all, the company processes about 30,000 tons of metal on an annual basis.
