Tackling the 'Tough Stuff'

摘要

This Dayton-area service center continues to invest in new, specialized processing technology despite the market downturn. Miami Valley Steel Service Inc., Piqua, Ohio, differentiates itself through the range of processing it offers and the types of equipment it operates. "Everybody wants to do the truckload quantities. We get our share, but we also do a tremendous amount of the tough stuff that the big guys either can't or don't want to do," says company president and owner Brian Williamson. Miami Valley specializes in narrow-gauge slitting, blanking and edge conditioning of carbon flat-roll steel. It also houses a complete testing lab with two full-time technicians who perform various types of physical tests on the steel and its coatings, from full chemistries to coating weights.
