In an effort to reach more aluminum customers, we opened a distribution center in Newark, DE and another in Lithia Springs, GA. EMS NC serves the Southeastern, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeastern United States.

The company made a logistical change and opened up a second branch in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1981 headed by Charles Contes, the founder's son. The N.C. branch acted as the supply warehouse for many military bases throughout the southeast region and began the establishment of a permanent location for the company. With continued commitment towards expanding its inventory lines, the company completed the construction of a 40, 000sf warehouse in 1982. Shortly after opening the new facility, Aviation Metals consolidated its inventory and staff to its Charlotte location.
