Upstate Shredding – Weitsman Recycling has begun work on a state-of-the-art new steel warehouse at the company’s Ben Weitsman of Rochester facility at 80 Steel Street in Rochester, New York.
With three other new steel locations in Binghamton, Owego, and Ithaca, this addition expands the new steel division into the State’s third most populous city. The opening of the new warehouse is scheduled for January 2015.
Once open in January, the new steel warehouse will stock and distribute structural, flats and rounds, plate and sheet, bar stock, tubing and pipe in steel, aluminum and stainless. The Rochester location will also saw cut and shear as well as perform rebar fabrication. The warehouse will add several new jobs locally to support the planned increase in business for both new steel and scrap customers in the region. The company plans to be the low cost supplier to businesses and the general public in the Greater Rochester area as well as surrounding communities. Customers will have the option of coming on site to shop or place quotes and orders via telephone, fax or email. Delivery service will also be available for customers. Implementation of a new ERP system will tie all new steel locations together in order to keep inventory levels at minimums which will in turn lower cost for customers.
