Rolled metals acquires Torrington Brass & Steel Co

It is reported that Bensalem's Rolled Metal Products Inc selling stainless steel and aluminum has grown with a purchase of Connecticut based Torrington Brass & Steel Co.

Mr Peter McGuire VP & GM of Rolled Metal explained that Rolled Metal said that “Rolled Metal is buying stainless steel and aluminum coils from mills and slicing them to meet specifications set by customers mostly companies in the auto, appliance and industrial hardware industries. Torrington Brass & Steel is in a similar industry, but they are also doing high carbon steel and copper and brass. We will be able to add that to our product area.”

Mr McGuire said that some clients are coming to Rolled Metal for one product and going to Torrington for another. He said that “In some areas, we were both serving the same customers. With the acquisition of Torrington Brass & Steel we will be better meeting those clients' needs.”

Rolled Metal Products is a service center, stocking and processing stainless steel and aluminum coil and strip. Rolled Metal was founded at Bensalem in Philadelphia in 1988, though the company relocated to Hatboro for several years before returning to Bucks County in 2005
