Mill Steel Reorganizes to Support Southeast Expansion

Mill Steel Co. (Grand Rapids, MI), one of the largest flat-rolled steel distributors in the nation, announced that it is supporting its rapid growth with the promotion of two executives and the addition of executive and sales support in key U.S. markets.

Eric Lambert, chief financial officer, was promoted to senior vice president and chief operating officer. He retains the CFO title. Carl Quenneville, vice president, sales, was promoted to senior vice president and chief commercial officer (CCO) and Pam Heglund, sales manager, was promoted to vice president, sales.

Tom Rosser, most recently vice president, business development for Commerce City, CO.-based R&M Asset Solutions, was named vice president for the southern region in mid-September. “We’re tremendously excited about the team we’ve put together to lead us towards new growth,” said Mill Steel president and CEO David S. Samrick. “We’re quickly growing in one of the toughest markets we’ve seen in decades, and we’ve made solid commitments to retain and advance our leadership position in several markets. The promotions and new hires are an important part of that commitment.”

Mill Steel is certainly bucking the declining growth trends. In February, the company expanded its geographic and product breadth with the acquisition of the Birmingham, AL, assets of Coated Steel Corporation. And during the last two years, Mill Steel has doubled its sales volume and anticipates further growth this year as it expands its business in the building products, automotive, appliance and other markets.

“The key to success for nearly any organization is getting the right people on board,” Samrick said. “We know that we’ve got the right team to drive us to the top.”
