U. S. Steel Names General Manager—Service Centers

United States Steel Corp. announced the promotion of Michael N. Meyers to the position of General Manager—Service Centers, Electrical, Agricultural & Industrial Equipment in the company's flat-roll products commercial organization, effective Oct. 1.
 
In his new position, Meyers, 54, will be responsible for sales and service activities for U. S. Steel's service center, electrical, agricultural and industrial equipment customers. He will be based in the company's Chicago-area sales office, and will report to Joseph R. Scherrbaum, Vice President—Sales.
 
Meyers replaces George H. Thompson Jr., who was appointed General Manager—Commercial in U. S. Steel's tubular products organization.
 
Meyers began his career with U. S. Steel in 1974 as a commercial trainee in the company's Kansas City sales office. Over the next 19 years, Meyers advanced through increasingly responsible positions in U. S. Steel's sales and marketing organizations. After completing a two-year assignment working on a re-engineering project, he accepted the position of Director of Business Development in Pittsburgh in 1995. Two years later, he was named Director of Marketing for construction sales in Birmingham, Ala. Meyers returned to Pittsburgh in 2003 when he was promoted to his most recent post, Director of Industry Marketing, where he was responsible for customer- based marketing activities for U. S. Steel's flat-rolled products.
 
Meyers earned bachelor's degrees in business and economics from Lehigh University in 1974. He is active in the American Iron and Steel Institute's market development efforts and is the 2007 chairman of its Construction Marketing Committee. He is also a member of the Steel Framing Alliance's board of directors.
