Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
Good evening from Merrillville, Indiana, home of our Steel 101 workshop which started earlier today and continues tomorrow. We toured the NLMK USA Portage, Indiana steel mill this afternoon in absolutely perfect conditions. Its cool here (high 50’s) and cloudy today (we are close to Lake Michigan) after arriving to high 70’s and sunny skies. There is nothing like spring in Northern Indiana (and Chicago land).
We had an “electric” tour of the NLMK this afternoon. Everything was running (which can be a hit-and-miss proposition when visiting steel mills sometimes) and we could see their order book was improving from what it was a month or two earlier this year.
