The small, family-owned operation offered only leveling and shearing services when it was incorporated in 1962.   Over the next few decades the Ohio-based company gradually expanded its capabilities, investing in equipment and acquiring or building additional service center facilities in the nation’s leading industrial centers.   Steel slitting equipment came first, in 1971. In the mid ‘70s, the automotive industry began seeking ways to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency. Heidtman responded by pioneering the marketing of high strength low alloy sheet steels in the service center industry.  Its sophisticated equipment, application expertise, and an ability to supply the most difficult high strength steel applications helped set Heidtman apart from the rest of the service center industry.   In 1979, the company completed a major expansion as a flat rolled steel service center by constructing its first continuous hydrochloric pickling facility in Erie, Michigan. Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, Heidtman dramatically expanded the size and scope of its operations. Today the company operates facilities within Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio, serving 100's of customers across a variety of industries from automotive, truck and bus manufacturers to furniture, appliances and HVAC to other steel service centers.
