Tampa Steel: Navigating risk, pricing in a volatile trading environment

Just like doing business in any part of the steel supply chain, there are risks and unknowns in trading steel. Trading companies play an important part, helping businesses to navigate the uncertainty as issues arise.

“It’s the non-steel part of the business that can make a huge difference. A lot of trading companies supply value that’s just as important as the specifications of steel,” said international trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz, owner of the Law Office of Lewis E. Leibowitz.
