Taubensee has announced a new Customer Relations department, replacing our previous inside sales service department. The reorganization now accurately represents Taubensee’s commitment to growing superior relationships with our customers.

Kris Mikkelson, Customer Relations Manager, directs the new team and explains it further, “Taubensee’s inside team delivers more than general ‘service’ to our customers.  We provide solutions to problems, commitments to quality, long-term partnerships, and a trust our customers count on. We needed to accurately represent this in our sales structure.”

Championing her team is 36-year employee Lee Ann Brooks and 11-year employee April Smith as Senior Customer Relations Executives; and Nicole Silvers and Hollie Calow as Customer Relations Executives.

The Customer Relations department partners with Taubensee’s outside sales force to provide quick responses, and a commitment to exceeding expectations. To experience a Best-In-Class partnership, contact us. We look forward to finding solutions to make your business easier!

 The American steel industry is the global leader in steel recycling and the recycling of other ferrous metals. Operating with the lowest energy consumption per ton of steel produced in the world, our nation sets the standard for the global sustainability effort .¹ Recognized as one of the world’s first green industries, the American steel industry has been actively recycling for more than 150 years. And why wouldn’t we? We recognize that without compromising quality, the efficiency of the steel recycling process is not matched by any other industry in the world. At Taubensee Steel & Wire Company, 95% of the steel we use in our manufacturing process is recycled.

Steel is the world’s most recycled material, and for good reason. Due to the magnetic properties of steel, it is easily removed from other recyclables before being melted and re-manufactured. Rather than extracting raw materials from the earth, using recycled steel and other ferrous metals throughout production lowers greenhouse gas emissions by 58%. The energy saved by using recycled steel reduces the annual industry energy consumption by about 75%, which is enough energy to power 18 million American households for an entire year.²

The steel recycling industry in the United States is a 90.6 billion dollar market. This accounts for 0.62% of the nation’s total economic activity; making it comparable to the forestry and fishing industries combined, the toy industry, and even all of the nation’s professional sports teams. In 2011, the steel recycling industry employed 137,640 Americans. In addition, 321,500 jobs indirectly support this industry.³ As domestic manufacturing increases and the economy grows, so too will the demand for domestic steel. At Taubensee Steel & Wire we are committed to sourcing recycled steel to manufacture wire and bar products for decades to come.

There haven’t been many stories like this in the past few months. It’s excellent to see positivity, right?  All we hear on the news is “double-dip recession” talk, uneasy consumer spending reports, and stories of a job market that can’t find on a solid track. Well here in our offices, we don’t bury ourselves in the public pessimism of the current economy. We look to the future.

We supply our customers with the raw materials they need to create a finished product or in some cases to create a part for a finished product. The steel we produce makes a trip to 1, 2 or sometimes 3 more factories before it becomes an item the average consumer will recognize or use in their everyday life. Because of this separation from end products, we tend to feel the grass-roots rumblings of the economy before it hits the mainstream media and water coolers around the country.

We’re optimistic…cautiously, but optimistic. We feel effects of the U.S. manufacturing industry gaining strength. We hear and experience first-hand, stories of companies who have brought their manufacturing process back to the U.S. from China.  Whether it was due to massive shipping costs of moving finished goods back to the U.S., rising labor costs in China, or chronic quality issues, some companies have gone back on their decision to stamp “made in china” on their product label.

We love these stories here at Taubensee. They are a symbol of what America continues to stand for…quality through hard, back-breaking accomplishment. A dream, an idea, a plan and a finished product on a shelf, all happening on the soil of our great country. It kind of gives you goose bumps, no?
