Final Thoughts

A reminder that Steel Market Update readers, as well as those who have attended a past SMU Steel Summit or a training workshop, have a unique opportunity to participate in a webinar about the North American steel market conducted by our parent company, CRU. The webinar entitled, “Mid-Year Update on the North American Steel Market,” will feature presentations from three experienced CRU analysts covering a range of North American economic, trade and flat-rolled steel price forecasts and insights. Any SMU customer can register for the webinar for free, and participants will be able to pose questions privately for speakers throughout the webinar. To register click here.

Speaking of registering, we have plenty of seats available for our NEW steel training workshop: Steel 201: Introduction to Advanced High Strength & Other New Steels. This workshop is for those new to the industry as well as the experienced executives who wish to learn more about what the future holds for the steel industry. This will be a focused workshop and will use new instructors such as Dean Linders of Red Bud Industries, Doug Bernd recently retired from Steel Technologies, as well as AK Steel metallurgists/engineers who will assist as we tour the AK Steel Research and Innovation Center and the AK Steel Middletown fully integrated steel mill. The workshop dates are September 11-12, 2018, in Middletown, Ohio, at the AK Steel Research and Innovation Center.
