Metal Center News Highlights ALMETCO for Inventory Strategy and Regional Leadership

In times of supply chain uncertainty and volatile raw material prices, stability is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s the perspective highlighted by Karen Zajac-Frazee in “Aluminum Outlook 2024: Aluminum on an Even Keel” for Metal Center News, where ALMETCO was cited as an exemplary case in the industry.

Our president, Orlando Ferrán, shared how ALMETCO has reinforced its commitment to clients by maintaining strategic inventory levels—even doubling stock when conditions demand it. In his words:

“Having enough inventory available is key in this industry. We’re not willing to tell a client we don’t have metal.”

This proactive approach has allowed ALMETCO to remain a reliable supplier of aluminum and stainless steel for projects across Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the U.S. East Coast.

The article also covers important industry dynamics:
  • Growth prospects in renewable energy and transportation.
  • The impact of tariffs and trade policies on metal availability.
  • The importance of suppliers that can adapt and respond quickly to market changes.
At ALMETCO, our focus remains clear:
  • Over $2 million in inventory available.
  • Custom metal processing.
  • Logistics, delivery, trade credit, and technical support.
