ASTI News Release

American Stainless Tubing, Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of the plant and equipment of the Acme/Romac facility located in Troutman, NC on June 30, 2003. In an effort to better serve our customers, we will significantly be expanding our products from a range of ½" OD to 2-1/2" OD up to 5" OD and adding a variety of shapes including Squares, Rectangles, Ellipticals and many others. We will also offer polishing for most of these items.

The founders of American Stainless also started Romac Metals as a fabrication company in 1969 and built it into a significant manufacturer of stainless tubing. Having sold the business to Insilco in 1986, Paul Haughton, Fred Lampe, and Tommy McCoy retired until former customers convinced them to reenter the stainless tubing business. American Stainless Tubing, Inc. was formed to "Set the Quality Standard" in the stainless tubing business.

We are pleased to have the Troutman facility back in our hands. We look forward to offering our expanded product range with the quality that you, our customers, have come to expect from ASTI. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 800-908-8823.
