American Ship Acquires Standard Metal And Globe Transportation Directors of the American Ship Building Company met recently in Lorain, Ohio, and approved ac-quisition of Standard Metal Fabri-cating Co. and its affiliated com-pany, Globe Transportation Co., for cash and notes. Standard Metal Fabricating's annual sales approxi-mate $2^-million a year. The newly acquired operation has plants in Omaha, Nebr. and Denver, Colo. "This acquisition, when joineu with our Cincinnati Sheet Metal & Roofing division, extends the mar-keting area for building products of American Ship into the midwest and western areas of the United States," noted American Ship President Jacob O. Kamm, who concluded the transaction. The acquisition of Standard Metal Fabricating Co. is the fourth completed since the new manage-ment team headed by 38-year old chairman George M. Steinbrenner III took over the reins of Ameri-can Ship 15 months ago. "We are confident of further de-velopments in our acquisition pro-gram in the immediate future," said Mr, Steinbrenner. "Our inter-ests are centered in the areas of shipbuilding and ship repair, metal Dredges fabrication and building materials, transportation, material and cargo handling, marine technology and pollution control. These are fields in which we see great growth po-tential and where we already pos-sess competent management and technical know-how."
