Schuff Steel Company, a subsidiary of Schuff International, Inc., a family of companies providing fully integrated steel construction services, announces plans to re-open their Orlando, FL fabrication plant in 2013 as a result of increased market demand in the Southeast region, as well as international markets serviced by Schuff from its Florida location and other facilities across the country.
The construction market in the Southeast region has been very challenging over the last few years. During this downturn, Schuff has streamlined and re-organized its Southeast operations. In April 2012, Schuff issued a WARN notice for its Orlando facility in light of the decreased demand for structural steel, but continued to service the Southeast market through its operations in Albany, Georgia.
"We are seeing signs of increased market activity and plan on re-opening our Orlando plant in the first half of 2013," said Ryan Schuff, President and CEO of Schuff Steel. "We have also centralized our Southeast operations and revamped our executive management team by adding and transferring some key employees to our newly renovated Orlando office."
Schuff continues to service its clients by delivering its expertise in Design-Build and Design-Assist services on structural steel projects. "Schuff remains committed to servicing the Southeast region and international markets for the long haul. We have been patiently re-organizing our efforts in the Southeast region, and we look forward to seeing the results in the coming years," Schuff concluded.
