By securing its physical footprint, BMT is well-positioned to pursue its long-term growth strategies and continue delivering top-quality copper products to its diverse clientele. The expansion potential of the Shawnee campus underscores BMT’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, paving the way for continued success and industry leadership.
