CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Olympic Steel Inc. (Nasdaq: ZEUS), a leading national metals service center, announced the opening of a new Olympic Steel distribution facility in Hanceville, Alabama, and the promotion of Hannah N. Price to General Manager, Alabama Division.
The Birmingham area facility will support Olympic Steel’s Plate and Sheet product distribution for the greater Huntsville and Birmingham metropolitan areas.
