Steel Dynamics, Inc. is proud to receive its thirteenth Rural Builder Gold Key of Excellence award.
Since its founding in 1993, SDI has proudly provided best-in-class customer service and support, quality, innovative technology, and most importantly, a focus on safety for all of its employees.
“SDI really values our customers’ input and this recognition of our hard work as we strive to be the best steel supplier for construction in the nation,” says Tom Lazar, marketing manager of the SDI Flat Roll Group.
“Our customers’ feedback brings us opportunities to improve on things like the quality of our products and our on-time delivery, as well as keeping us up-to-date on what they see in the marketplace in terms of the needs and wants of their customers,” continued Lazar. “It helps us improve our service to them and stay on the leading edge of new product development.”
Two of those new products are Tru-Steel HD® digital print steel and the ultra-sustainable BioEdge™ flat rolled steel, the latter of which is made with renewable or nuclear energy and SDI-produced biocarbon to reduce scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions.
“Steel Dynamics is a sustainable company from the get-go,” says Lazar. “It’s always been top of mind, not only for cost, but for environmental purposes. We’re proud to be leading the industry’s sustainability efforts, and we’re constantly improving.”
Tru-Steel HD® and BioEdge™ complement SDI’s already impressive lineup of flat-rolled steel products, ranging from pickled hot-rolled coils to prepainted Galvalume® and specialty coatings such as Aluminized Type 1 and Galfan®. Additionally, SDI officially opened its first flat-rolled aluminum mill, Aluminum Dynamics, in Columbus, Mississippi, last year. This state-of-the-art facility serves the domestic aluminum construction industry and supplies high-quality aluminum products to canned goods manufacturers and automakers alike.
To close, Lazar spoke directly to SDI’s loyal customers, saying, “We want to thank our customers for being our partners in the metal construction world and for recognizing our achievements and our commitment to them daily.”
