We have a busy issue this evening, so I will keep my final thoughts brief.
Next week I will be in Fort Wayne, Ind., as we conduct one of our Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making and Marketing Fundamentals workshops. We will tour Steel Dynamics’ Butler facility and Paragon Steel’s flat rolled steel service center. I want to thank both SDI and Paragon for their hospitality.
Our next Steel 101 workshop was put up on the website today. We will be in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 24 & 25, 2018, where we will tour the SSAB Mobile minimill. If you have any questions about this workshop, please contact us at: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com or by phone at 800-432-3475.
A note to our Premium members, we will publish another Premium Supplemental issue tomorrow (Friday) with Key Market Indicators and other articles.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
