Kawneer expands in Midwest

Kawneer Co. Inc., an Alcoa business based in Norcross, Ga., plans to relocate and expand its Midwest Service Center. The new location and increased capabilities, an investment in excess of $4 million, will nearly double Kawneer’s presence in the Midwest and will enable the installation of a new flexible fabrication line, resulting in shorter lead times and an expanded product offering for customers across the region. The Chicago-based service center offers stock items, a custom door line, framing systems, welding, fabrication and packing. The move is scheduled to occur in the third quarter of 2011.
