A Glimpse At Our History
 Our
plant became part of the Commercial Metals Company and its
Steel Group in
December 1983 with the purchase of a Connors Steel plant in Birmingham after it
had been closed. Birmingham was selected as the site for the Steel Group's
second steel mill after much study and research and with the cooperation of the
Birmingham community through its Industrial Development Board and City
Council. We are a "neighborhood" industry acquiring our
manpower, scrap, and other materials from the local area. We market our
products primarily in the southeast and increase the Steel Group's scope of
services to customers in this region.
Since we began operating our facility, we have made many
dramatic changes and upgrades. Included are new stands in the rolling
mill, a DC
furnace, an LMS
station, a 4-strand
caster, additional warehouse space, and replacement of our cooling bed and
finishing equipment.
The CMC Steel Alabama People Program
The philosophy of CMC Steel Alabama is the philosophy of
our Founder and Chairman, Marvin
Selig, who established the Company upon four basic principles. They
are:
-
Dignity of the Individual - Each employee is an
individual with unique qualities who must be treated with dignity and
respect.
-
Mutual Respect - The Company's management respects the
dignity, rights, and privileges of its people and expects the same from
them.
-
Understanding the Profit Motive - All employees must
know and understand that the Company's prime objective is to earn a profit
from its operations, and every steelmaker must contribute to that objective.
-
Importance of the Supervisor - CMC Steel Alabama
believes that its supervisors are the key to the success of its steelmakers
and is dedicated to creating an atmosphere conducive to their growth,
development, and recognition.
People Did It
Our Steel Group companies were founded by one man, but it was built by many men
and women who mirror the characteristics that make dreams come true -- daring,
discipline, dedication, and determination -- Men and women who have earned the
right to be called "World Class Steelmakers".
CMC Steel Alabama believes in people. We recognize
that through the efforts of individuals our business exists today. Some
think of a steel mill as a complex of large buildings and machinery. We
think of CMC Steel Alabama as people because our buildings, our machines, and our equipment
are nothing without the people who operate this plant. From its beginning,
the Company has recognized and emphasized the value of its people -- dedicated
men and women contributing their individual talents and abilities to a winning
team effort.
