(firmenpresse) - WEST CHESTER, OH -- (Marketwired) -- 06/15/16 -- AK Steel (NYSE: AKS) received the "Best Operational Improvement" award for its Dearborn Works from American Metal Market (AMM), a leading metal industry publication. The award recognizes the company for its dramatic improvements in safety, environment, quality and reliability following AK Steel's acquisition of the Dearborn, Michigan facility in September 2014.
"It is an honor to receive this outstanding recognition from American Metal Market," said Roger K. Newport, Chief Executive Officer of AK Steel. "We are pleased to be recognized for our holistic integration plan to ensure AK Steel's established practices, procedures and reporting methods are being implemented at the facility. Our acquisition of and continued improvement at Dearborn Works has strengthened AK Steel as a premier North American steel manufacturer, and enhanced our ability to serve customers by ensuring our best practices are being applied across our operations."
