Under the new structure, Keith E. Busse, formerly president and CEO, has been appointed chairman and CEO. These and other organizational changes are designed to enhance the company’s flexibility in pursuit of current and future growth opportunities.
Since the acquisition of Roanoke Electric Steel Corp. in April 2006, six operating vice presidents as well as various corporate functions have reported directly to Busse. Under the new management structure, all operating units will report to two executive vice presidents, who will report to Busse. The chief financial officer and other corporate functions will also continue to report to Busse.
