Vested Metals has expanded its dedicated Sales and Service Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The center officially opened in October 2024. 

The new center is 20,000 square feet and has an increased warehouse capacity that allows the company to stock a broader range of materials and inventory to fulfill customer orders. The large facility also allows for advanced processing capabilities. It also includes processing saws with precision cutting for each customer’s needs and space for tumbling services to refine a product’s finish. 

An upgraded packaging department allows staff to create custom packing solutions to ensure materials are safely and securely shipped. For the first time, Vested Metals will offer local flatbed truck delivery of products on trucks and services. 

Viv Helwig launched as a start-up in 2014 and focused on raw material specialty metals and steel distribution, value-added processing, and metallurgical consulting. 

“This new location will allow us to expand our product offering and capabilities and better service our customers in the Midwest and beyond,” said Viv Helwig, President of Vested Metals. “It’s a major step in expanding our footprint and increasing our efficiency. Fort Wayne is a strategic nexus for our customers West of the Mississippi. It’s within an hour of major manufacturing hubs like Chicago, Indianapolis, and Detroit. It is also located next to Warsaw, IN, known as ‘The Orthopedic Capital of the World.’ This will help us reduce lead times and continue to offer competitive rates for high-quality products.”

Vested Metals’ new Sales and Service Center is located at 6450 Innovation Boulevard, Suite 102, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 24th, 2024, and are planning a future open house.

“We are thrilled to join the business community in Fort Wayne,” Helwig added. “Something we take pride in at Vested Metals is doing good where we do business. Our first and most important core value is ‘People Are Forever.’  We’re excited to become a part of a growing community and be active partners in its success.”
