And we’ll take your questions too! As always, we’ll keep it to about 45 minutes. You can drop in, learn something – and then get on with your day.
Recall that Gilmore was named executive vice president and chief operating officer of Worthington Industries in August 2018. Worthington in September 2022 announced plans to separate its steel processing business to create a new, standalone public company by early 2024. Gilmore will lead that new company, which will be known as “Worthington Steel.” The consumer products, building products, and sustainable energy solutions segments will be rolled into “New Worthington.”
