proven to be a solid move for both our customers and
Tennsco.”
Though numbers fluctuate because the business is
project-based, Tennsco’s customers in Canada, Mex-
ico and overseas complement its 90-plus percent U.S.
customer base. Indeed, it has been challenging to
compete with businesses globally, mainly due to the
domestic cost of steel. But if the past is any indication,
a long shelf life for Tennsco is in store.
“It’s a challenge competing in a global economy” ex-
plains Bradley. “That’s where our service really, really
makes a difference.”
What does the future hold for Tennsco?
“I see us continuing to focus on quality,” according to
Bradley. “That’s really how we stand out. We’re going
to continue to invest in engineering, customer service
and premier packaging. We also continually tweak our
production methods and staying on top of the latest in-
novations in automation, robotics, lasers, and produc-
tion equipment, so we’re continuing to evolve, which
we think is very important as we fight compete in the
global market.”
With Tennsco’s determination to hold its place in the
industry, if the competition plans to surpass this com-
pany’s achievements, it may as well shelve that idea.
