Arkansas Steel Associates Keeps Steel Business Supply on the Right Track
The consistency of SCOA's rail business is a result of the Company's steadfast resolution to
perform business with integrity and quality products. With its long-time partner company,
Arkansas Steel Associates, SCOA has been an exclusive distributor of their high quality
tie plates for railroads in North America.
Advancing Core Strength
In 1989, Yamato Kogyo, Sumitomo Corporation (SC) and SCOA joined together to acquire the Newport,
Arkansas-based company, previously named Razorback Steel.
After renaming the company and investing in facility and process improvements, Arkansas Steel
was able to capitalize on its core strength, supplying railroad infrastructure development and
maintenance through a steady product supply of high quality tie plates, a key component for
the nation's railway tracks.
The Arkansas Steel's current steel production output of 300,000 net tons
(NT) of tie plates and billets per year breaks down to 250,000NT of tie
plates and 50,000NT of other products per year, and the company
has also increased its work force by double since its SC in the
Americas joint investment.
Award of Achievement
Most recently, Arkansas Steel earned the 2012
President's Award issued annually by SCOA for
outstanding achievement in sales. The award
is further proof that investments that SC makes
in the Americas helps grow local businesses
and enables them to enhance their own sales
and distribution and continue their path
for future expansion.
