our sales, customer service, and design teams. That’s
first and foremost. And even though we are a publicly-
traded company with a conglomerate of different com-
panies across numerous states, we really are a family.
Secondly, we have a unique ability to provide very quick
and responsive turnaround. Our laboratory equipment al-
lows us to perform required testing in a highly efficient
manner and our ISO 9001 certification guarantees con-
sistency for our customers.
“But ultimately, I think it’s our diversity. We have hot oil
reactors, steam reactors, and mix vessels. So we have a
unique ability to create some unique products - whether
its chemical intermediates or just simple blends based
on the equipment that we have here in varying sizes. If a
customer calls us and wants a bulk tanker wagon of ma-
terial, we have the vessel for that. If they want a couple
of drums or two totes, we have vessels that will accom-
modate that, as well. We are able to optimize our produc-
tion process and efficiency based on the order size. Other
companies don’t have those same capabilities.”
Synalloy makes continual capital investments into its
chemical operations – a testament to the parent com-
pany’s strategy of growing organically, as well as through
acquisition. “We recently completed a $5 million expan-
sion project at CRI Tolling to help increase our hot oil
reactor capabilities at that site,” says Gibson. “We also
have started a new $1.2 million project at Manufacturers
Chemicals to increase our hot oil reactor capabilities at
that site, which we will complete in 2016.”
