glazing contractors, subcontractors, architects, design/build contractors, owners, and

Products available from the SAF West branch include next-day-out and prefinished sheet and anodized extrusions. Fabrication services include shear, press brake and welding.

According to company's Project Manager Jim McClatchey, "We see tremendous construction growth potential throughout the West. From this Northern California location on I-5, a major transportation artery, we'll be able to offer overnight delivery of anodized and mill finish aluminum to most of the west coast. This is particularly important to more completely support nation-wide SAF eCommerce network on www.saf.com, where extrusion and sheet transactions may be processed and tracked around the clock, 365 days per year."

SAF is the only aluminum service center in the country with anodizing and painting facilities, a full-time fabrication center, and an unparalleled stock of sheet and extrusions, architectural column cover and panel systems from a single source. This enables SAF to provide quick, one-stop expertise, service and accountability.
