The Indianapolis Star reported on March 16 that Sumco may shut operations in Indianapolis and terminate 110 workers if the business can’t be sold by May 12.  Sumco has been Supply Chain Partner to ABC Metals for many years and a leading supplier of electroplating for coil materials for many years;  primarily the Automotive Industry. 

Their potential departure would cause a ripple effect in the near term. Nonetheless, be assured that ABC Metals has the broad supply base to continue to service your plated coils needs without interruption or delay. If you are not a current customer let us show you how we can bridge the gap potentially caused by this event.  We hope for Sumco’s survival via a buyer being found, but are prepared for the worst and we will continue to supply your plated material needs through our diverse supply chain.
