Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard

We had an excellent group at our workshop in Columbus, Mississippi and I want to thank the entire management, customer service, sales and operations staff at the Severstal Columbus facility that put on an exceptional tour of their mill for our group. I also want to thank Severstal NA in Dearborn for working with Steel Market Update as we strive to help improve the understanding of the steelmaking process and the industry in general.
I hope everyone enjoys Peter Wright’s analysis in the SMU Key Market indicators article. SMU will be expanding this section and adding new data tailored specifically to the flat rolled steel industry. SMU are considering this to be part of what will ultimately become part of our “premium” package. I will discuss what that means in more detail as we get closer to our website debut.
Again, a reminder our Managing Price Risk workshop (NY, NY) is available and on our website: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com
As always your business is truly appreciated.
