SMU Steel Summit Adds “Fireside Chat” with CRU Executive Chairman
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update and the CRU Group are pleased to announce the SMU Steel Summit Conference will include a fireside chat between CRU Group Executive Chairman Robert Perlman and SMU President & CEO John Packard.
Since Steel Market Update has been acquired by the CRU Group out of London, we thought it appropriate that Steel Market Update and the CRU Group end this year’s conference by talking about the two companies, how each will complement the other, products that are available to SMU and CRU customers, and some of the plans for growth in the coming months and years. As many of you are aware, the CRU Group is one of the most recognized providers of steel pricing data. Most U.S. domestic contracts are tied to the CRU HRC Index or other CRU products. The financial instrument used for hedging price risk is also the CRU HRC contract on the CME exchange.
