Johnny Sjöström, head of Special Steels for SSAB, will be the featured speaker for the next SMU Community Chat on Wednesday, March 9, at 11 am ET.
Sjöström will speak about SSAB’s Special Steels segment and its place in the broader global steel industry.
He will also talk about Russian forces invading Ukraine and the impact of that war on global steel supplies.
Sjöström was appointed head of Special Steels in 2018. He joined SSAB from Uddeholm, where he had been CEO since 2014.
As always, we’ll keep it to about 45 minutes. You can (virtually) drop in, learn something – and then get on with your day. And the webinar is free.
We’ll take your questions too. Register here.

SMU Community Chat: Wednesday With AGC Chief Economist Ken Simonson
We’ll have a lot to talk about because construction is at the intersection of so many of today’s hot-button issues. The main question: Will construction thrive or dive in the rest of ’25? (Nothing wrong with a rhyme, even in serious times.)
