I am in Blytheville, Arkansas making final preparations for our Steel 101: Introduction to Steelmaking & Market Fundamentals workshop. We have a full class which will tour the Nucor Hickman facility on Tuesday afternoon.
We will send out a complimentary issue of our latest Monthly Newsletter on Monday. Once our new website comes online we will begin selling the Monthly Newsletter as a stand-alone product. The price for new customers will be $300 per year (12 issues). In the beginning we will offer our existing customers the opportunity to receive the Monthly Newsletter as well for an additional $100 on top of the single membership rate. For corporate pricing please contact our office: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
Thank you to everyone who spent time with either John Temples or myself at Metalcon last week.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
