Columbia Steel names new product engineering manager

Columbia Steel, Portland, Oregon, has announced John Maguire has accepted the position of shredder product engineering manager.

Maguire joined Columbia Steel in 2008 as a member of the company’s shredder wear part design team. He later worked in the gyratory crusher group before moving into his current management position.

“John’s years of engineering experience, close attention to detail, and advocacy for his customers made him the ideal choice to take over our shredder group after Greg Stegmaier accepted the position of Columbia Steel product engineering director,” says Chad Rathke, Columbia’s director of sales and marketing. “I am thrilled with the work that John has done so far and look forward to seeing where he can take us in the future.”

Stegmaier says Maguire’s “combined experience in both shredder and crusher engineering will make him an excellent product manager.”

Columbia Steel operates from an 86-acre facility in Portland that includes an on-site product design and engineering department and a steel casting foundry. Columbia Steel serves scrap recyclers, aggregate producers, coal surface mines, cement plants and metallic mining operations with a range of replacement wear parts in a variety of alloys.
