Solid First Quarter for Russel Metals

Canada’s Russel Metals reported a solid performance in first-quarter 2019, though the company does not expect the market to keep pace with the record-setting year in 2018.

“We think 2019 is going to be a very good year for Russel, but more similar to 2017,” said President and CEO John Reid during the quarterly conference call with analysts and investors this week. “We feel very good about where we are right now.”
