Olympic Steel CEO Rick Marabito will be the featured speaker at the next SMU Community Chat on Wednesday, April 14, at 11 a.m. ET. Marabito will bring a service center perspective to the current steel market in a one-on-one discussion with SMU.
Topics will include infrastructure, supply chain disruptions stemming from COVID-19, and port congestion. The broader question: Will such issues result in more regional supply chains and better domestic steel demand?
We’ll also discuss M&A, the impact of high steel prices on inventory turns, credit, and the risks of long lead times.
Join us for this 40-minute webinar, which is free and open to all. Click here to register.
