Business Summary
Metals USA, Inc. is engaged in the value-added processing and distribution of steel, aluminum and specialty metals, as well as manufacturing metal components. During 1998, the Company organized into four product groups: Plates and Shapes, Flat Rolled, Specialty Metals and Building Products. In early 2001, the Company announced a change in the organization to improve operational efficiencies and reduce administrative costs, which resulted in a reduction in the number of product groups to three. The Flat Rolled Group will expand to include all flat rolled processing operations of specialty metals and carbon steel in a single business unit. Similarly, the non-flat rolled operations of the former Specialty Metals Group will be included in an expanded Plates and Shapes Group.
