SAF opens West Coast anodizing line, adds capacity

Officials from Southern Aluminum Finishing Co. announced the start-up of its batch anodizing line in Redding, Calif., allowing SAF-West to achieve functional parity with the company's East Coat capabilities, according to a Jan. 3 SAF release.

The Redding plant operations now include distribution of aluminum extrusions and sheet, and metal fabrication, in addition to the newly-added anodizing service. The anodizing plant reaches customers on the West Coast, with next day delivery available throughout California. SAF's next-day-out service on custom anodized sheet and extrusions now results in expedited delivery to the west coast and mountain states, according to the release.
