By Don Worthington - dworthington@heraldonline.com LESSLIE -- Jeffrey Pate was on a sales trip to Charlotte when he got the phone call: Check out the former Worthington Industries plant on Hall Spencer Road near Lesslie. The plant had just appeared that day on a website marketing industrial facilities.
The minute Pate walked into the vacant building which had once housed a steel fabricating plant, he knew Supermetal's 10-year journey to find a location for its first U.S. plant was over.'This is it,' Pate said, looking at the cranes capable of lifting 50 tons of steel, the building's high ceilings, and the nearby railroad tracks.
