CMC Acquires Mexican Joist Manufacturing Operation

Acquisition will boost company's visibility in Southwest.

 

Commercial Metals Co. announced the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of the Juarez, Mexico joist manufacturing facility from a subsidiary of Canam Group, Inc. of Quebec, Canada.

 

The Juarez facility will join CMC's joist manufacturing group operating as SMI Joist with facilities in Hope, Ark.; Starke, Fla.; Iowa Falls, Iowa; Fallon, Nev.; and Cayce, S.C. The facility and equipment will allow SMI Joist to expand its territory in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico and provide customers with even better delivery. This facility is owned by CMC Fabricators, Inc. and will operate as part of CMC's Domestic Fabrication operating segment.

 

Karl Schoenleber, divisional manager for CMC's Joist Division, said, "Our acquisition of the Juarez facility will not only strengthen our presence in the southwestern U.S. and improve our opportunity to grow in the region, but will also position Commercial Metals Co. for a growing market as demand for joists increase in Mexico. This facility is recognized as one of the most efficient and reliable manufacturers of joists in North America, and we are pleased to retain the skilled work force and key managers."
