Zekelman Industries has announced plans to build a fully automated warehouse at its Wheatland Tube facility in Warren, Ohio. The 83,000-sq.-ft., 65-ft.-high building is scheduled to begin operating in December 2022.

The $30 million warehouse will convey pipe from the production lines of the manufacturing facility into the warehouse storage system. From there, pipe is automatically moved out of storage to an enclosed truck-loading area with minimal human interaction.

Wheatland Tube produces steel tubular products including standard steel pipe, galvanized mechanical tubing, fence framework, fire sprinkler pipe, electrical conduit, elbows, couplings, and nipples.

The Tube & Pipe Journal became the first magazine dedicated to serving the metal tube and pipe industry in 1990. Today, it remains the only North American publication devoted to this industry, and it has become the most trusted source of information for tube and pipe professionals.
