BOSSIER CITY, La. — To meet the needs of a growing customer base, McElroy Metal has opened a manufacturing facility in Diamond, Mo. — its 13th such operation in the U.S.

“I look forward to servicing customers from here,” says Billy Howell, operations manager at the new Diamond manufacturing facility. “McElroy Metal has had a service center in this location for more than a decade. We’ve cultivated an excellent customer base, so building a manufacturing facility was just a natural step to meeting the needs of that customer base.”

Diamond is located in the southwest corner of Missouri, near the borders of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas, serving the four-state area. The new manufacturing facility provides products for the post-frame industry as well as the architectural and commercial construction markets.

“Now we can better serve our customers with the capability to locally produce the quality products they’ve come to expect,” says Brian Eudy, McElroy manager at Diamond.

Since 1963, McElroy Metal is a family-owned components manufacturer based in Bossier City, La. More information can be found at www.mcelroymetal.com.
