South Atlantic: Celebrating Our Past, Embracing Our Future

There are very few companies that have experienced the level of success that’s reflected in the history of South Atlantic. With more than 50 years of expertise, we’ve come a long way from our humble beginnings which started with our first plant in Aberdeen, NC. 

Since then we’ve expanded to include ten locations—the perfect logistics to help ensure easy and streamlined deliveries for our customers. 

The history of South Atlantic is a rich tapestry that’s one part innovation and one part expansion with the overarching theme of providing the highest quality services and products, positioning us as the leading galvanizer in the Southeast. 

We’ll take a walk down memory lane to celebrate our past, mention some of our proudest moments, and frame the future vision for our company. 

The History of South Atlantic: From Our Humble Beginnings to Major Expansions

We got started in that one plant in Aberdeen, NC, Carolina Galvanizing, where we had 40 employees and a focus on high-quality, hot-dip galvanizing. Since then, we’ve expanded our workforce to include a total of 400 employees at our ten plants. We also extended our business units to include: galvanized steel, reinforcing, masonry, and grounding.

But What Does This Mean For You in the Present?

When you’re working on a major construction project, you know that deadlines are always looming over you. If you fail to get your materials on time, you won’t just miss your deadline, but you may be subject to fees. 

And isn’t it annoying when your galvanized material arrives only to find pieces missing? It can delay your entire venture. You also need a vendor that has the pieces you need in stock for fast turnaround. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could trust your company to handle the logistical challenges?

South Atlantic meets all these requirements…and more. After all, that’s why we’ve been so successful for more than 50 years. As for you, your greatest benefits are:

• You get honest, upfront pricing with no hidden surcharges
• You get access to more than 2,000 tons of quality, pre-galvanized steel.
• You can have confidence that there will be convenient shipping. We can ship any of the products we keep in stock anywhere in the United States. 
• You won’t have to worry about quality–all our galvanized products meet or exceed all ASTM standards. Likewise, our grounding rods and other products always meet the most stringent qualifications.
• Our 25-point QA process means you can rest assured about the quality of your product. 

Continuing Innovations for the Future

We created a revolutionary, proprietary air-wiping process that was originally designed to meet the stringent requirements of the nuclear power industry—but you can reap the benefits of our expertise today for corrosion-resistant products that stand the test of time. 

You can read more about it in our earlier blog:  “5 Advantages of Air-Wiped Rebar.”

We’ve set the stage for future success—not just ours, but yours as well.
