Seats Still Available for California Steel 101 Workshop

Virgin steel is made with iron ore, coke and limestone. It was done that way, and only that way, for many decades. Then along came the “mini” mills. So-called minimills recycle ferrous scrap, mixing it with pig iron or other iron units and melting it down in large electric arc furnaces to produce new steel.

The SMU Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop has been introducing (or re-introducing to experienced managers) the steelmaking process to hundreds of men and women within manufacturers, steel distributors, steel mills, trading companies, toll processors and many companies that service those industries. Nearly 1,000 individuals have gone through our training program, and many of those past attendees have been moving their way up through their organizations to mid-level and upper level management positions.
