  • Making a Difference in the Communities We
    2018 McWANEMAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE N ANY GIVEN DAY IN 2018 YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THAT THE O economy was either booming or that a recession was on the horizon. At the current stage of our economy, in many ways it’s the best of times and the worst of times for McWane. In some cases, we are experiencing a tail wind and these “good times” present new opportunities but also challenges. Our foundries are experiencing increased demand and improved margins partially due to the nature of our cost structure in those manufacturing processes despite higher steel, scrap and other raw material costs. On the other hand, in our businesses where steel is the primary raw material, we have experienced a significant margin squeeze even with increased production. Managing these situations requires different leadership styles just as we need a mix of leadership skills to achieve superior performance in each of our businesses. I want to share some thoughts about leadership and recommend some reading to those of you who are interested. Ben Horowitz, founding co-partner of Andreessen Horowitz, an American venture capital firm, wrote The Hard Thing A Message from about Hard Things back in 2014. The key message in his book is recognizing the combination of skills needed to lead and run a business. You see, every team member at McWane is a manager of sorts whether it be a piece of equipment, a process, or a team of people. So EVERY team member has the opportunity to be a leader. Part of the McWane Way our President is to engage all of our team members because we all play a part in leading the organization.

This presentation reviews some promis­ ing ironmaking processes which involve iron ore prereduction, with special attention being given the D-LM process. Although the D-LM process is continuous from iron ore to high quality molten cast iron, the research and discussion herein is lim­ ited to principal variables involved in the production of high quality carbonized pellets in the prereduction phase of the operation.

  • Clean Water Restoration Act Report
    For Immediate Release February 10, 2010 Contact: Heather Emmert, Environment America: 504-525-1528 x200 or 817-312-0079, [email protected] Environment America Warns that Alabama’s Waterways are at Risk of Increased Pollution Streams and wetlands in Alabama are at risk of unlimited pollution, according to a report released today by Environment America, Courting Disaster: How the Supreme Court Has Broken the Clean Water Act and Why Congress Must Fix It. The case against McWane, a manufacturing company, discharging pollution into Avondale creek is one of the 30 case studies that highlights how the federal Clean Water Act is broken. “Polluters are trying to break open the floodgates to dumping unlimited pollution into Alabama’s waterways,” said Heather Emmert, Gulf State Organizer with Environment America. “Representative Davis must shut the door on dirty special interests and protect Avondale Creek, Village Creek, the Locust Fork, the Black Warrior River and all state waters.” “Recent rollbacks to the Clean Water Act have swept away 30 years of protection for some of Alabama’s most important waters and waterways across the country,” said Heather. “Polluters have been given a green light to ignore the Clean Water Act, even when it may destroy a stream or affect our drinking water supplies.” The case studies in the report indicate that streams, rivers, wetlands, lakes and other waters across the nation are now more vulnerable to pollution and destruction. These cases provide examples of the estimated 15,000 water bodies that federal agencies have declared unprotected in the last eight years. Today’s report is largely based on information obtained through district offices of the Army Corps of Engineers, or from Corps headquarters, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Justice.
