Universal Stainless and Alloy Products Inc., Bridgeville, Pa., announces that it has added a new bar turn and burnish line and a new General Electric phased-array nondestructive testing system to its Specialty Steel facility in Dunkirk, New York. The company has also made several other improvements to the 800,000 square-foot building, amounting to a total investment of $10 million.
“The installation of modern equipment keeps us ahead of new mills and foreign competitors by allowing us to produce more bar products at a higher quality standard,” says Wendel Crosby, general manager of Universal Stainless facilities in Dunkirk and Titusville, Pa. “It will also contribute to making our facility more efficient, with an eye toward increasing profitability and securing jobs in the community.”
The equipment has been upgraded and installed over the past several months, with the new units beginning production in March.
