Origin
Wherever it’s pressed, we cut it
We source our domestic slabs from a manufacturer just west of Houston: a plant we can drive to, making material we then fabricate ourselves on Hillmont Street.
That is a schedule argument before it is a patriotic one. The plant holds inventory ready to ship, so a reorder is a phone call and a truck rather than a sailing. When something needs answering, you call us, and the plant is a short drive away.
