Stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum supplier, O’Neal Steel plans to expand its business with a new metal distribution facility in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Operations at this 64,000 sq ft center will begin from June 1 and will employ close to 8,000 employees working in two shifts through the week, the company said in a statement, adding that it will begin with serving one of its largest strategic partners in the area, before expanding its operations to other customers in the surrounding market.
According to Stephen Armstrong, the company’s president and chief executive officer, this expansion reflects the company’s recent market share growth in the metal service center industry and the growing demand for steel in regions in and around St, Joseph.
