CALIFORNIA STAINLESS STEEL DISTRIBUTOR INCREASES HIGH POLISH CAPABILITIES.

June 17, 2009 – Ontario, CA – Affiliated Steel & Tube increases its high polishing capabilities of its stainless steel square and rectangular tubes, providing customers with better polishing options.

While few Southern California polishing facilities have the capability of polishing stainless steel square and rectangular tubing up to 10 foot lengths, Affiliated Steel & Tube has implemented a system allowing them to perform a #8 (directional) high polish on tubing up to 20 foot in length. This is a benefit to customers who require polished lengths in one piece beyond 10 feet.

“By increasing our polishing capabilities and offering high polished lengths up to 20 feet, our customers are able to save money in the long run”, said Frank Flores, President of Affiliated Steel in Tube. “In addition”, Frank added, we are the only stainless steel distributor in Southern California that offers such a service.” Affiliated Steel & Tubes can accommodate square tubes up to 4”x4”x.250 and rectangular tubing to 2”x6”x.250.

Affiliated Steel & Tube is reshaping the industry through its fast paced growth, and constant product and service expansion. “We’re committed to servicing our customers’ needs and they’re beginning to recognize us as ‘The Source’ for all of their stainless steel products and service requirements. By increasing our polishing capabilities, we move another step closer in helping our customers get what they want at competitive pricing”, said Frank Flores.
