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. The new location will also increase Olympic Steel's
product availability and market share regionally, while reducing
distribution-related costs for the Company's current customer base.
To launch operations at the new facility and for its ongoing management,
Hannah Price will serve as General Manager, Alabama Division, reporting
directly to David Gea, Regional Vice President. Price began her career
with Olympic Steel in 2014 as an Outside Sales Representative for the
Company's Atlanta division, and in 2016 she was promoted to Regional
Sales Manager. Prior to joining Olympic Steel, Price held regional sales
management and business development positions at various companies.
"Hannah's sales and business development experience makes her the ideal
candidate to lead our new Hanceville location to early success," said
John Mooney, President and Chief Operating Officer - Flat Rolled. "Her
focus will be on expanding our position in the Alabama region, enhancing
customer service and profitably growing market share for our Company."
Price earned a Bachelor of Science degree in human environmental
sciences from the University of Alabama and an Associate of Science
degree from Calhoun Community College. Price is also a member of the
Birmingham Chapter of Association of Women in the Metal Industries
(AWMI) and the Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI).
