Storage & Processors, founded by Steve Parker and Joe Trapolino, was formed in 1979 as a pure toll processor. In 1985 the company added Storage & Processors Trucking and became the only company in the south that handled direct discharge, cut-to-length, terminal, rail, local, and over the road trucking and over the next 29 years became the go to processing partner in the Port of Houston.
At the conclusion of 2009, Joe Trapolino sold the business to Steel and Pipe Supply who saw the vast capabilities and strategic location of Storage & Processors as a key opportunity to add an array of services to their growing portfolio. In early 2011, Storage & Processors acquired Gassett Metals LTD extending Storage & Processors capabilities, footprint and bring even more talent to Storage & Processors.
Since the beginning, Storage & Processors has listened to customers’ needs and focused on providing the necessary processing capabilities to fill those needs. The direct discharge and trucking businesses were sold in January 2014 and consolidated all operations into the Port of Houston. In 2015, Storage & Processors partnered with SPS Metallurgical Laboratories, LLC to bring physical steel testing as an in-house offering to our customers.
With our Herr-Voss Heavy Gauge Line and our Herr-Voss Light Line, along with our Wean Slitter & Cluster leveler, all strategically located on 22 acres inside the Port of Houston, Storage & Processors has directed its focus on being the go to provider of cut-to-length, cluster leveling, slitting, handling, service and storage.
