Union Partners announced it has purchased Heidtman Steel\u2019s Automotive Steel Technical Center located in Gibraltar, Michigan. The facility sits adjacent to Lee Steel, one of Union Partners\u2019 portfolio companies, and further solidifies the company\u2019s position in serving the automotive market and other customers in the Michigan area.<\/p>\n

The 9,500-square-foot facility was built in 2005 to house Heidtman\u2019s automotive technical and commercial teams under one roof. Union Partners will use the location as a focal point of the organization\u2019s commitment to best-in-class testing and research, including its work with both mills and OEMs to bring new advanced high strength (AHSS) and ultra-high strength steels to the marketplace. The acquisition also provides the opportunity for future expansion to over 150,000 square feet at the company\u2019s existing\u00a0Gibraltar\u00a0facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest motivations for us in starting Union Partners was to identify and support \u2013 both financially and operationally \u2013 opportunities in the metals industry where innovation is alive and well,\u201d said the company\u2019s founders\u00a0Chris Hutter\u00a0and\u00a0Paul Douglass\u00a0in a joint statement. \u201cThis testing facility deepens our commitment to the next generation of steel products. It also deepens our commitment to our mills and customers as we all work together to understand the vast capabilities of these new materials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Complimentary to its pursuit of technical innovation is the support Union Partner\u2019s portfolio companies provide in processing and distributing steel products in the marketplace. One example is the recent installation of an industry-leading Braner slitting line at the organization\u2019s\u00a0Gibraltar\u00a0location. This heavy gauge slitter is capable of processing hot rolled black, hot rolled pickled and oiled, and cold rolled coils with mechanical properties ranging to 100,000-psi in gauges up to .500\u2033.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
