EVRAZ Stratcor Names New Sales Manager for Vanadium Products Used by Steel Industry
09/12/2014 - Michael P. Shea has been named EVRAZ Statcor’s sale manager responsible for selling ferrovanadium and Nitrovan® vanadium to steel producers in North America.
He will be located in the company’s sales office in Chicago, Ill.
The two vanadium products are produced by the global EVRAZ organization — one of the largest vanadium producers in the world. They are widely used to strengthen and harden high-strength, low-alloy steels and other specialty grades used in construction, transportation, pipelines, machine tools, and other applications where high strength, wear resistance, and low weight are important.

“Mike Shea’s extensive sales experience and knowledge of the steel industry will allow us to continue providing North American steel customers with customer-focused vanadium products backed by knowledgeable customer service,” said Brad Ewers, vice president, marketing of EVRAZ Stratcor. “We look forward to utilizing his skills and experience in serving the North American steel industry.”
As part of a worldwide vanadium organization, EVRAZ Stratcor is a major supplier of 80% ferrovanadium produced in facilities on four continents. In addition, EVRAZ Stratcor offers two specialty alloys — Nitrovan® vanadium, a vanadium-nitrogen strengthener that allows savings in vanadium costs; and Vanox™ vanadium, an economical source of vanadium for tool steel.
