Vested Metals Opens Indiana Facility

Vested Metals, a raw material specialty steel and metals supplier with expertise in the medical, defense and government contracting, aerospace, industrial, energy, automotive and transportation markets, is expanding with a dedicated Sales and Service Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, according to a media release. 

“This new location will allow us to expand our product offering and capabilities and better service our customers in the Midwest and beyond,” says Viv Helwig, president of Vested Metals, in the release. “It’s a major step in expanding our footprint and increasing our efficiency. Fort Wayne is a strategic nexus for our customers west of the Mississippi. It’s within an hour of major manufacturing hubs like Chicago, Indianapolis, and Detroit. It is also located next to Warsaw, IN, known as ‘The Orthopedic Capital of the World.’ This will help us reduce lead times and continue to offer competitive rates for high-quality products.”

With 20,000 square feet of space, the increased warehouse capacity allows Vested Metal to stock a broader range of materials and greater inventory to fulfill customer orders, the release states. The large facility also allows for advanced processing capabilities.

“We are thrilled to join the business community in Fort Wayne,” Helwig said in the release. “Something we take pride in at Vested Metals is doing good where we do business. Our first and most important core value is ‘People Are Forever.’  We’re excited to become a part of a growing community and be active partners in its success.”
