Parsons, KS -- ATEC Steel has announced their purchase of a 100,000 sq. ft. plant in Baxter Springs, KS, a former Liebherr plant. ATEC Steel is an industry leader in knocked-down, high quality steel fabrication. Their specialty is dry bulk (hopper tanks) and liquid (flat bottom) storage tanks and silos for the power, industrial & petroleum markets.

“This plant was built as a world class manufacturing facility for heavy steel fabrication,” stated Noel Garrett, President of ATEC. “The fit with our business is right on the mark. In lieu of planned phased expansions, ATEC can now immediately service all of the requirements for our customers.”

Garrett was the former General Manager for Matrix Services in Tulsa, OK, a large field-weld tank company. Fabrication is expected to commence by mid-October. ATEC Steel currently ships throughout North America, and international shipments will be available in 2007.

“In the shop, our manufacturing processes set the benchmark for the highest quality steel fabrication available. Documented quality control procedures, economies of scale processes, and precision manufacturing standards have positioned ATEC far apart from other fabricators. This is what we offer to our customers and the market has responded with continuous orders that have exceeded our expectations,” stated Garrett.

Specialties include: Knocked-down hopper tanks for the industrial market, flat bottom tanks for liquids and petroleum applications and heavy steel fabrication components required in all three markets.
