This week, we had the pleasure of celebrating Pete Smith and his retirement. After more than five years with our organization and a distinguished career in the steel mill industry, Pete is beginning a new chapter filled with family time, fishing, and well-deserved relaxation.
Thank you, Pete, for all you've contributed over the years. We wish you nothing but happiness in retirement!
