Olympic Steel: Historic, Record-Breaking Results in Q2

Olympic Steel reported record sales and the most profitable quarter in company history. The achievement in the service center’s second quarter was bolstered by exceptional market conditions and historically high metal prices, the company said.

Driven by higher pricing, Olympic set a sales record for the second consecutive quarter, posting net sales of $556 million in Q2, up from $248 million in the same period last year, and up more than $90 million from record-setting first-quarter results.
