Steel Dynamics Inc., (SDI) Fort Wayne, Ind., has appointed Russell Rinn executive vice president of metals recycling and president and COO of OmniSource Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary.
Rinn will be responsible for OmniSource's ferrous and nonferrous scrap operations. In a press release, SDI adds that Rinn fills the vacancy created when Mark Millett was promoted to president and COO of SDI in April 2011.
Rinn has more than 30 years of experience in metals recycling and steel making. Most recently, he was executive vice president of Commercial Metals Co. (CMC), and president of CMC's Americas Division.
Millett says, "Russ's appointment culminates a search process which began three months ago and surfaced a number of top notch candidates, both internal as well as external. In the final analysis, however, it was clear that Russ was the right choice. Russ is a top level executive. He is a proven leader, proficient in delivering bottom-line results. His strong involvement in sales, operations and finance, along with his respect for his colleagues in all areas and levels of his previous company, fits our culture nicely."
