Strategic growth and diversification

  • Growth achieved through decentralization by product, end market, and geography to reduce earnings volatility.

  • Product mix mirrors U.S. metal consumption, with a focus on carbon products and less exposure to flat rolled due to competition.

  • International operations target high-return sectors like aerospace, semiconductor, and energy.

  • Decentralized structure enables rapid, value-added service, with 50% of orders processed and many delivered next day.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
