In celebration of Economic Development Week we are highlighting several of our local manufacturers this week. Today we are highlighting Infra-Metals. Infra-Metals was founded in 1990 intent on becoming the premier steel service center servicing the structural steel market. Since its inception, all efforts have been focused on that objective. Here is what Oak Williams, general manager of the New Boston facility, had to say.
“Service centers are a crucial member of the structural steel supply chain. We play a vital role in the delivery, availability, and fabrication of structural steel throughout the US. We offer an extensive inventory, maintain a substantial array of processing equipment and provide just-in-time delivery. We also have a strong parent company, which allows us to continuously invest in state-of-the-art processes and uphold a high level of service and quality throughout our organization. The bulk of our growth has been achieved through strategically located green-field facilities designed specifically for the products and services we provide. Our newest facility here in New Boston, Ohio opened for business a little more than two years ago. Building our business in the greater Portsmouth region has afforded us a quality local workforce and multitude of logistics options. With this, we have very quickly grown into a thriving business and become an important and relied upon resource for the customer base in our region.”
Oak Williams and the Infra-Metals team continue to make quality products, employ local workers with great paying jobs and be strong community partners. Infra-Metals organized the Bob Walton 5-K in New Boston last fall and also contributed mightily to Portsmouth’s America’s Best Community application. So we here at the Southern Ohio Port Authority would like to thank Oak Williams and thank Infra-Metals for being great stewards of our community. ?#?YearofEconDev? ?#?PositivelyPortsmouth?
