Cerro Copper, a member of the Marmon Group, has initiated a major, multi-million dollar capital expansion program with the immediate establishment of a primary, fully integrated copper tube mill and master distribution center in the western U.S. The western states facilities represent the first step in a series of major new capital investments in plant and equipment. The master distirbution center will be ready later this year, with tube production planned for 2001.
