Leeco Expanding in Fort Worth
Leeco Steel, Lisle, Ill., has broken ground on an expansion of its operations in Texas. The supplier of carbon, HSLA, heat-treated and alloy plate will build a 73,000-square-foot facility in Cleburne, Texas, approximately 30 miles south of Fort Worth.
The rail-served facility will have the capacity to store 15,000 tons and ship more than 100,000 tons per year. It features two storage bays, each 110 by 320 feet, with four 30-ton overhead cranes capable of handling 60-foot-long plate.
Leeco’s cutting equipment includes a 20-foot by 60-foot oxyfuel table capable of cutting plate up to 10 inches thick, and a combination oxyfuel and plasma table capable of cutting 1.5-inch plate with plasma and up to 10 inches with oxyfuel.
“We have customers across North America depending on Leeco Steel’s dedication to having the steel plate they need whenever they need it,” says Denton Nordhues, president and CEO of Leeco Steel, a member of O’Neal Industries. “Our capacity expansion in Fort Worth ensures we can provide more complete and cost-effective supply chain solutions for existing and new customers.
Construction is expected to be completed in early 2013. The new operation doubles Leeco’s presence in the South.
