We have 5 spots left open in our next Steel 101 workshop which will be held in Blytheville, Arkansas on October 8th and 9th. The workshop includes a tour of the Nucor Hickman EAF and rolling mill. Information about the workshop is on our website or you are welcome to contact our office: 800-432-3475.
We received a number of comments regarding our new Monthly Newsletter – all complimentary. If you thought it stunk – I would like to hear from you. I am always looking for suggestions and insights which would make the product better. I can be reached at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
By the way – if you think our product is good enough to recommend to others and you don’t mind saying it – we continue to collect new testimonials for our new website. You can send a short one or two sentence glowing, gushing testimonial directly to me: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com. Many thanks in advance…
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
