ASD to Honor Robbins as Steel Man of the Year
Written by Tim Triplett
Brian D. Robbins, CEO of MidWest Materials, Inc. in Perry, Ohio, will be honored by the Association of Steel Distributors as its 2017 Steel Man of the Year during a special dinner celebration on Wednesday, March 7, at the ASD Spring Convention in Scottsdale, Ariz.
MidWest Materials has had a long and rich history with ASD, which similarly honored Robbins’ grandfather in 1962. “I am honored to be chosen for this prestigious award. My family has been associated with the steel industry for more than 65 years, and it is humbling to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather, Joseph Koppelman, founder of MidWest Materials, who was one of the earliest members of ASD and served as its president 50 years ago,” Robbins said.
