Rocky Mountain Steel of Nampa, ID, transferred its operation from a 20,000 sq ft building to a 90,000 sq ft facility at 400 3rd Ave. N. in Nampa, the Idaho Business Review reports.

Rocky Mountain operates as a steel service center, as well as a fastener wholesaler and retailer. Existing inventory includes anchor bolts, stainless steel fasteners, concrete reinforcement bars, farm equipment support bars and fencing pipe.

Manager Julie Vaudrey said relocating to larger quarters enables the company to add inventory and expand its reach into some market segments. “The fastener business will be able to add a more complete line, and it is an efficient design,” she explained.

Rocky Mountain Steel owner Don Thornton owns the new building.
Vaudrey and Thornton started Rocky Mountain Steel in 1995. Vaudrey co-manages the business with Randy Southern.

The company said revenue is down from a year ago, though MRO business remains steady. �2008 FastenerNews.com
