According to Pam McNealy, Alcoa RPD Metal Planning and Procurement Manager, in the highly competitive aluminum market, a consistent supply of quality UBCs is an advantage for Alcoa. "We are fortunate to procure UBCs from more than 2,000 locations throughout the U.S., but only a select few truly step up and expect the same excellence in their UBC supply as we do," McNealy says. "It is these very dedicated and valuable suppliers that we honor today. These firms are proudly invested in the product they send us ... we salute their hard work and focus."
