JD Fields & Co. acquires Alameda Pipe & Steel Co.
JD Fields & Company Inc. recently announced the acquisition
of Alameda Pipe & Steel Company, a steel products manufacturer
based in Gardena, Calif. The purchase of the newly branded
Alameda Pipe and Fab enables the 35-year-old JD Fields &
Company – which has long-operated as a company of two business
units focusing on steel pipe for the oil and gas sector as well as
steel foundation products for civil infrastructure – to continue its
evolution into a one-stop, vertically integrated supplier and manufacturer
of its own steel products.
“We are moving quickly to adapt to changing global dynamics
so that steel products can be distributed and manufactured by
one company,” said Jay Fields, president and COO of JD Fields &
Company. “Our acquisition of Alameda Pipe is the first major step
in a strategic growth plan to move into the steel manufacturing
industry as we continue to expand on the West Coast. I am excited
about the opportunity to absorb Alameda’s plants and bring on
their top-level executives, who have the right connections and
deep industry knowledge in the field to rival any competitor.”
The acquisition of the 85-year-old Alameda Pipe & Steel will
allow JD Fields to maintain the same revenue – even in the current
down oil and gas market – as well as provide added value to
customers who are looking to buy top quality niche steel products
with better options for contractors looking for specific products
and services that meet their unique needs.
JD Fields & Company, Inc. – a Fields Company – has been an
international supplier and distributor of API line pipe for oil and
gas applications and piling systems for heavy civil, port/marine
projects since it was founded by Jerry Fields in 1985. Its diverse
business model operates with top sales and engineering professionals
drawing from 150,000 tons of inventory strategically located
throughout more than 10 stocking facilities across North America.
