Mr. Raimondo will discuss how the coronavirus is impacting his business, the steps he has taken to keep employees and customers safe, the strength of Behlen’s order book, and how the company is dealing with the future uncertainty in the agriculture, metal building and fabrication markets.
He will be interviewed by Steel Market Update President & CEO John Packard, who will also share SMU’s view of the markets based on contacts with buyers and sellers of flat rolled and plate steel products.
