2010 Acquisitions

 

On December 1, 2010, through our subsidiary American Metals Corporation, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Lampros Steel, Inc. (“LSI”) and a related interest in Lampros Steel Plate Distribution, LLC (“LSPD”). LSI specializes in structural steel shapes with a facility located in Portland, Oregon. LSPD owned a 50% interest in an unconsolidated partnership, LSI Plate, that is a distributor of carbon steel plate with locations in California and Oregon. Effective March 2011, the business conducted by LSI Plate was moved to LSI in order to achieve certain operational efficiencies. Net sales of LSI during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $29.9 million.

 

On October 1, 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Diamond Consolidated Industries, Inc. and affiliated companies (“Diamond”), which now operate under the corporate name Diamond Manufacturing Company. The operating divisions consist of Diamond Manufacturing Company located in Wyoming, Pennsylvania and Diamond Manufacturing Midwest in Michigan City, Indiana, both of which specialize in the manufacture and sale of specialty engineered perforated materials; Perforated Metals Plus, a distributor of perforated metals located in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Dependable Punch, a manufacturer of custom punches for tools and dies also located in Wyoming, Pennsylvania. This acquisition expanded our product and processing offerings with the addition of perforated metals. An operating division of Diamond was opened near Dallas, Texas in early 2011 to expand Diamond’s geographic reach. Net sales of Diamond during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $77.2 million.
