Flack Global Metals

Flack Global Metals announced plans to build a new coil coating and downstream processing facility adjacent to Big River Steel in Osceola, Arkansas. The facility will cost approximately $150 million and create more than 150 jobs, with construction expected to begin in summer 2020 and production in late 2021.

Flack Global Metals and Kenwood Painted Metals have merged. Jeremy K. Flack remains CEO of Flack Global Metals, and Greg Underwood, president of Kenwood Painted Metals, joins as executive vice president.

Chicago-based Flack Steel changed its name to Flack Global Metals, reflecting the consolidation of recent acquisitions of Consolidated Metal Products in Columbia, South Carolina, and JD Steel Products in Toledo, Ohio.
