August 7, 2019
Mill Steel Co. has added three veteran executives to the sales team at its Mill Steel Framing operation. The Grand Rapids, Mich.-based distributor of carbon flat-rolled steel has appointed Kip Craddick as Vice President of Mill Steel Framing, Steve McDaniel as Director of Mill Steel Framing, and Brett Patton as Senior Account Manager. Together, the trio bring over 35 years of experience in the metal framing industry.
“Mill Steel has a robust book of business in the metal framing products space, and when we saw an opportunity to acquire three highly coveted leaders in the industry, we moved quickly. We are thrilled to welcome them to our team,” said Mill Steel President Pam Heglund.
These additions follow the recent announcement of the rebrand of Mill Steel Framing. Previously known as Steel Structural Products, Mill Steel Framing supplies a full line of metal framing materials. The newly reorganized company anticipates growth by capitalizing on Mill Steel’s purchasing power, dedicated carrier network and the strategic market insight of these three veteran sales leaders.
