Pre Coat Metals out of St. Louis has purchased Roll Coater, a metal finishing and coating facility in Armorel.
The transaction was finalized last week.
A spokesperson for Pre Coat Metals said that Pre Coat is hoping the acquisition of Roll Coater will strengthen the company and open up a broader market for both products and services.
The spokesperson also said the two companies, though different, are very complimentary in their operations.
There are approximately 60 employees at the Armorel facility.
One of the leading coil suppliers, Pre Coat Metals was established in 1961 and has nine locations across the eastern portion of the country with more than 750 employees. Pre Coat offers more than 11,000 different combinations of metal grades, widths, colors, substrates and finishes.
