Baltimore Welcomes New Tenant at Tradepoint Atlantic, Creating Local Jobs
Baltimore, MD — Tradepoint Atlantic, a major industrial and logistics hub located at Sparrows Point in Baltimore County, has announced the addition of Samuel, Son & Co. Inc. as a new tenant. The steel distribution company has secured a long-term lease for a significant facility, signaling growth in the Baltimore area’s manufacturing and logistics sectors.
Expansion Details and Facility Specifications
Samuel, Son & Co. has leased a 130,000-square-foot space at the New Cold Mill site, situated along Bethlehem Boulevard. This facility is set to nearly double Samuel’s regional operational footprint within Maryland, marking a strategic expansion for the family-owned company.
The new center is designed to process and distribute aluminum and stainless-steel products, including flat-roll and long-form shapes. It will function as a key distribution point supporting a variety of industries, such as HVAC businesses, defense contractors, and domestic metal fabricators, thereby fostering regional economic activity.
Operational Impact and Job Growth
Operations began at the new facility last month, with plans to increase employment opportunities in the region. Currently, the existing Samuel facility employs 34 workers, but with this expansion, there are expectations for generating additional jobs, contributing to local workforce development and economic vitality.
Logistics Capabilities and Strategic Positioning
According to Kerry Doyle, managing director of Tradepoint Atlantic, the location of the new center offers a unique advantage for both domestic and international logistics. It enables the efficient processing of metals and supports the entire supply chain by cutting metals into specific shapes and preparing them for further manufacturing processes.
Potential for Domestic and International Market Support
The facility will not only serve local industry needs but also facilitate exporting and importing operations, making it a vital component for Samuel, Son & Co.’s logistics network. Its strategic position at Sparrows Point enhances the company’s ability to serve customers across the United States and abroad.
Background and Broader Economic Context
Samuel, Son & Co. is a sixth-generation family business with a long-standing presence in the North American steel and metals industry. Its expansion aligns with the region’s broader economic initiatives aimed at attracting manufacturing and logistics firms to create employment and stimulate growth.
Tradepoint Atlantic’s focus remains on recruiting top-tier companies in logistics and manufacturing sectors, with the goal of strengthening Baltimore’s economic landscape. The Maryland Department of Commerce has expressed confidence that Samuel’s decision to expand affirms Maryland’s status as an attractive location for industrial investment.
Baltimore County Executive Kathy Klausmeier underscored the importance of building a strong local workforce to support such developments, emphasizing that new jobs and economic opportunities hinge on a skilled and prepared labor pool.
Summary
The addition of Samuel, Son & Co. to Tradepoint Atlantic’s facilities signifies a positive step for the Baltimore region’s manufacturing and logistics industries.
