Mario Longhi Talks Innovation and Trade at AIST 2016 Convention
Written by Sandy Williams
At last week’s Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST) convention in Pittsburgh, US Steel President and CEO Mario Longhi challenged the steel industry to innovate or run the risk of steel being replaced by other materials.
Longhi said during his keynote speech, “There is a revolution underway in advanced materials — a race to discover and commercialize materials that are lighter, stronger, more energy-efficient, or more versatile,” he said. “Make no mistake: We need to create the next generation of solutions to ensure steel remains the material of choice in a variety of applications.”
