Raw material slitting & mill operations.80% of the steel we slitted was for auto parts.Whatever steel we scrapped and didn't use I wouldn't be surprised if you guys got.Scrap metal was hurting for awhile there too.

Back in the early 90's my partner and I bought out one of our customers (was in bankruptcy), a slitting co in Oak Park.  We slitted master coils on a 60" slitter, eventually going to Granite City, Il. and buying a much better slitting line.

My speciality item was pressed iron powder containing traces of copper and ni, which makes gears for transmissions and other auto and off road items.  Until I got this account, can't say the name, I always thought gears were made out of steel, for many they are not.  Being in the steel field I thought you may have found that interesting.

   Grimlin, Detroit & Maltese congrats to all of you on your good news!
