What Fulton County Processing does

Fulton County Processing, Ltd. (FCP) is a privately held toll steel processor headquartered in Delta, Ohio, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heidtman Steel Company. The company provides a one-stop suite of coil processing services—including pickling, slitting at 24", 36", and 72" widths, cut-to-length, edging, and integrated shipping/receiving—to steel mills, service centers, and industrial manufacturers that supply hot rolled, cold rolled, galvanized, and HRPO steel coils. Its core technology centers on a 2015 high-production push-pull pickle line with anti-coil break and shape correction up to .250 x 72.00 inches, Butech Bliss and PRO-ECO slitters handling coils up to 60,000 lbs, and a Parsytec automated surface inspection system backed by AGT-800 laser thickness gauging, Rockwell hardness, and tensile-yield testing.

FCP generates revenue through transaction-fee-based toll processing contracts: customers deliver steel coils to the 358,000 sq. ft. facility, FCP processes them to specification, and finished coils are shipped back via customer-preferred carriers or FCP's own logistics. Pricing is custom quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts and credit-application-based onboarding. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, is located adjacent to Northstar Bluescope Steel with Ohio Turnpike (I-80/90) and Genesee & Wyoming rail access, and markets itself through direct sales, facility tours, and a Facebook presence. Recent operational moves include a 2023 coil field expansion adding 20,000 tons of raised above-grade storage and a planned Q4 2025 to early 2026 upgrade of pickle line shape correction capabilities with a new .045–.250 gauge range.

The business is supported by a Heidtman Steel corporate sales channel with offices in Toledo, OH and Erie, MI, which handles broader steel inquiries and feeds processing demand into FCP. Strategic emphasis is on capital-intensive quality, on-time delivery, and one-stop-shop convenience rather than technology differentiation or geographic expansion.
