Our product is steel. Our strength is Congratulations to our colleagues who are celebrating 40 and 50-year service milestones in 2019. We are extremely proud of our team and the commitment to transforming tomorrow that they bring to work each day. Coverage of the first ever celebration in the June-July 1949 issue of the company’s employee magazine, Illustrated News. Welcome to the Club Since 1949 Each year since 1949, a distinguished group has gathered to celebrate Dofasco employees who have reached exceptional service milestones with the company. It’s a much anticipated event, with food and drink and hearty congratulations all around, highlighted with a commemorative portrait book and this special section of The Hamilton Spectator. The first annual dinner was held at the Royal Connaught Hotel in 1949 when 54 employees were welcomed to a distinguished club of employees with a Quarter Century of service. D.F. (Dan) Hassel, Vice President of Employee Relations, was Chairman of the meeting, a position he held until 1972. The celebration is called to order with the ringing of the original Quarter Century Club bell by the evening’s Master of Ceremonies. The gavel’s inscription reads: “Presented by D.F. Hassel to The Dofasco Quarter Century Club.” After more than 100 years, the tradition continues as the employees of ArcelorMittal Dofasco tip their hats each year to the newest employees on the team who have reached significant service milestones. To this year’s inductees: “Thank you for your service and congratulations on your achievement!” Quarter Century Club bell, inscribed with each chairman’s name, is rung with a gavel, donated by the first Chairman, Dan Hassel, to begin the celebration each year. 2019 marks ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s 71st annual recognition of significant service milestones for our colleagues. We have a distinguished group of employees celebrating 40 and 50 years at ArcelorMittal Dofasco who exemplify the strength and commitment of Dofasco employees. This year we have two colleagues being recognized for 50 years of service, and an incredible record of 159 colleagues being recognized for 40 years of service. That’s nearly 6,500 combined years of service at ArcelorMittal Dofasco for the group! We want to thank them for their dedicated longstanding service to the company. We have long known that it’s our people that are our competitive advantage. They embody the values of our company, truly understand our customers’ needs, build relationships with suppliers, develop new technology, imagine new products and build our community’s strength. Together, we’re not only making steel stronger, lighter and more sustainable, we’re transforming tomorrow. I am very proud of our team at ArcelorMittal Dofasco and am pleased to recognize those with significant service achievements in 2019!

Salzer Ian Todd Make Your World Safe, healthy, quality working lives for our people It’s something that you don’t really expect growing up, especially as a woman, that I’m going to work in the steel industry. But once you get here it’s different. There are so many opportunities. Having my dad here, being able to follow in his footsteps, and make him proud while working at the same company...it’s big for me.
