During my visit I was able to spend time with several of their top managers and key employees who emphasized their commitment to producing high-quality products. I was able to meet a few of their long-standing customers as well who also agreed that SIJ’s vertically integrated business structure guarantees complete control of the value chain, from scrap to final product”.
