Metal Center News Profiles ALMETCO as a Regional Leader in Metals
We are honored to be featured in “MCN Profile: ALMETCO” by Dan Markham in Metal Center News, recognizing our evolution as the most complete metal service center in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
The article highlights our history—from our origins as Ventanas Nevárez, the first aluminum window manufacturer in Puerto Rico, to becoming a regional hub for distribution, processing, and service of aluminum and stainless steel with three locations across the island.
It also underscores some of the unique challenges we face due to our location, including:
- Maritime transport and logistics, particularly during periods of port shortages.
- The impact of natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
- Federal policy challenges, including the implementation of Section 232 tariffs.
Despite these obstacles, ALMETCO has maintained a clear focus: providing a reliable supply and adapting to a market that blends retail and industrial sales—where every order, from half a piece of angle to full export shipments, matters.
We thank Metal Center News for this profile and for recognizing our role as part of the private sector driving local economic development.
