    I want to take a moment to thank John Walburg and the entire California Steel Industries team for their support of our Steel 101 workshop, which we just completed. The Fontana, Calif., steel mill tour was the highlight for many of our Steel 101 workshop attendees, and I want to personally thank CSI for allowing us to view their facility (and for dialing up 70-degree temperatures and sunny skies).

    John Packard Summit 18An important note regarding subscription rates for our Executive and Premium level newsletters. We will be raising our membership costs by approximately 9 percent as of Feb. 1, 2020. SMU has been investing in new products and new people and we need to begin to recover some of our higher cost. February renewals will go out at the new numbers. However, as in past years, we will allow companies to renew their memberships at the existing pricing if paid prior to Feb. 1. This includes companies whose subscriptions may not expire until later in the year. For more details about pricing, when your company is due for renewal, or information about upgrades to your existing membership – please contact Paige Mayhair at 724-720-1012 or by email at Paige@SteelMarketUpdate.com
