WARREN, Ohio – Zekelman Industries held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate its new automated warehouse at Wheatland Tube in Warren.

Barry Zekelman, CEO and chairman, says the hands-free automated system increases safety and order fulfillment speed.

“The automation we’re putting in here today is really to enhance our product, keep it in a much better environment, the quality of it, make it accessible at a moment’s notice,” Zekelman says.
