Olympic Steel, a national metals service center, announced the promotion of Thomas Sacco to Regional Vice President.
Sacco joined Olympic Steel in operations in 1994. After transitioning to the commercial group, he took on roles of increasing responsibility before being promoted to Regional Sales Manager in 2013. In 2016, he was promoted to his most recent position as General Manager, Minnesota Coil Division.
In his new role, Sacco will retain his current responsibility as the General Manager for Minnesota Coil and he will assume oversight responsibility for the Minnesota Plate operations with the General Manager of Minnesota Plate reporting directly to him.
