Majestic Steel USA, a flat-rolled steel service center located in Cleveland, Ohio, plans to expand its staff by 80 positions in 2014. The family-owned and operated company has entered into a period of what they are calling “hyper growth.”

Three top-tier positions have already been filled as part of the company’s growth strategy.
Majestic Steel announces the appointment of Allen Garrett as Director of Business Development. Garrett joins Majestic from Steelscape, bringing a 25 year background in chemical, coatings, metallurgy and forming industries. He will be responsible for the conceptualization and commercialization of specialty products, including metallic coatings and metal prints.
