The deal was finalized 1 September 2019. Based in Odessa, Texas, USA, Shamrock Steel Sales is a 63-year-old structural steel distributor and the largest such business operating in the oil-rich Permian Basin.

“We are very excited to expand our coverage in Texas with a physical presence in the Permian Basin. More importantly, we are pleased to join forces with the talented team at Shamrock,” said Triple-S chief executive Gary Stein.

“Shamrock, founded by the Williams family in 1956, shares a lot of similarities with Triple-S, from a family culture and customer focus to the three “S’s” in the name. We are grateful to Terry Williams and his team for building such a fine company. My family and our entire team is proud to make it part of us,” he added.
