The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) announced Monday that ThyssenKrupp Steel USA has joined the organization. The announcement comes less than two months after the steelmaker opened its Calvert, Alabama steelmaking operations.
"As Chairman of AISI, I'm pleased to welcome ThyssenKrupp Steel USA President and CEO Christoph Lackinger to the AISI Board of Directors and to extend that welcome to all the employees of ThyssenKrupp Steel USA," AISI Chairman Daniel R. DiMicco, chairman and CEO of Nucor Corporation, said. "As our industry advances its pro-manufacturing strategy, having a unified voice and presence throughout the country is a tremendous asset to the progress of our public policy agenda."
