Olympic Steel Inc. has promoted Vincent Anza to the role of general manager for its Milford, Conn., facility.
Anza joined the Cleveland-based national service center chain in 2024 with more than 18 years of management experience in the metals industry.
The Milford location specializes in the slitting and cutting-to-length of flat-rolled steel, aluminum, and stainless steel products.
Anza will report directly to David J. Gea, president of Carbon Flat Rolled at Olympic.
“Vince brings fresh perspective and deep industry insight to our Milford team,” Gea said in a statement on Monday.
Anza replaces Region VP James D. (Jim) Post, who is retiring at the end of the year after more than a decade with Olympic.
“We thank Jim for his dedication and many contributions to Olympic Steel,” Gea added.
