Service center group O’Neal Steel has promoted three team members to positions of regional general managers.

Geoffrey Butts, who has worked for O’Neal for 10 years, was promoted from director of supply chain to general manager of the Coastal Region.

The new general manager of the Mid-Atlantic region will be Matt Graffeo. He has nine years of experience in various roles with O’Neal.

BriAnna Slough was promoted to general manager of the Western Region. She has been with the company for seven years.

The leadership of Butts, Graffeo, and Slough “will be crucial in guiding their regions through the next phase of growth, particularly as O’Neal Steel expands into new markets and continues to enhance its service offerings,” the company said in a statement.

“Each of these individuals has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a deep commitment to our company’s values,” added Clay Hosmer, O’Neal’s VP of sales and marketing.

Birmingham, Ala.-based O’Neal Steel has 18 distribution facilities across the US. It is part of O’Neal Industries, which also includes Leeco Steel, TW Metals, and others.
