With direct access to the port, Mill Steel will be able to receive up to 60,000 lb. coils straight from the water, reducing transit times and improving efficiency. This strategic advantage will allow the company to provide faster lead times on orders, ensuring customers receive their material quickly. Additionally, the expanded 100,000 square-foot space will support increased productivity and offer greater capacity for future growth.
To further enhance its processing capabilities at the new location, Mill Steel is investing in state-of-the-art equipment, including a new high-speed slitter with precision leveling capabilities that handles 72″ wide coils in gauges .015–.250″. This advanced line will enable flatter material and faster throughput providing superior value to customers.
“Our move to a portside facility in Houston reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering excellent service and supply chain efficiency to our customers,” said Pam Heglund, CEO of Mill Steel Company. “With this new location, we’ll be able to streamline our operations, enhance turnaround times, and expand our capabilities to better serve the growing demand in the region.”
The new facility will offer Mill Steel’s full product line, delivering a comprehensive range of high-quality materials for construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and other industrial applications. In addition, the increased capacity will provide opportunities for third-party unloading and storage.
As Mill Steel continues its transition, customers can expect uninterrupted service and enhanced logistics benefits from the new location. Both plants will operate simultaneously during the startup period to ensure seamless supply and on-time delivery. More details, including the exact move-in timeline, will be shared as the transition progresses.
