Sivyer Steel to Host Steel Founders’ Society of America

Sivyer Steel is honored to announce they will be hosting members of the Steel Founders’ Society of America (SFSA) in the Quad-Cities this week. Members will be from the SFSA “Future Leaders” group, which is intended to increase networking opportunities between newer foundry personnel and experienced industry professionals.

The two-day event allows Sivyer to showcase to their peers the business practices and technological advances that have kept them in business for over 100 years. One specific point of interest will be Sivyer’s recent decision to go paperless on the shop floor. Sivyer Steel is also coordinating roundtable discussions, research presentations and an expert panel.

While the Future Leaders will tour the Sivyer facility, they will also visit the Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center on Arsenal Island, which entered into a partnership with Sivyer Steel in April 2010.

“Hosting the Future Leaders allows us to support and encourage networking in our industry, while providing Sivyer Steel with the opportunity to showcase our facilities and our partnership with the Rock Island Arsenal,” says VP of Technology Hal Davis, who will be leading the expert panel. The Future Members will be in the area from Tuesday, November 2^nd through Thursday, November 4^th.
