(Doylestown, PA) January 1, 2008… Specialty steels provider Ugitech USA, which is part of the Schmolz + Bickenbach Group, announced today that it will now operate as Schmolz + Bickenbach USA. As the Stainless Steel Materials division of Schmolz + Bickenbach USA, the company will continue its responsibility for all US sales and distribution of stainless long products from its Ugitech production division. The new name is reflective of the group's global vision to operate all of its distribution divisions under one cohesive international brand, Schmolz + Bickenbach. "Our product offering, technical and customer service, network of warehouses and commitment to carry inventory remains the same," says Schmolz + Bickenbach USA Vice President, Chris Zimmer. "In fact, the only real change our customers will notice is a different name on our paperwork and a different name when we answer the telephone." Operating as Ugitech USA (formerly Ugine Stainless & Alloys), the Stainless Steel Materials division of Schmolz + Bickenbach USA has enjoyed a successful track record as a distributor of specialty steel long products to the US market since 1990. |
