AK Steel (NYSE: AKS) said today that longtime engineering employee,
Laura Szpot, was recognized by the Manufacturing Institute as one
of the 2019 STEP Ahead Award honorees who exemplify leadership in
Science, Technology, Engineering or Production.
Laura was among honorees recently recognized by the
Manufacturing Institute in Washington, D.C. The Manufacturing
Institute is the authority on the attraction, qualification, and
development of world-class manufacturing talent. As part of
that work, the Institute champions diversity, works to empower
women leaders and represent all levels of the manufacturing
industry.
“We are proud of Laura’s achievement and are pleased to
participate in the Manufacturing Institute’s event to recognize
women in manufacturing,” said Roger K. Newport, AK Steel Chief
Executive Officer. “Science, technology and manufacturing
roles are key to enable us to deliver innovative steel solutions to
meet our customers’ needs, and to drive manufacturing for our
company and our nation.”
Laura joined AK Steel in 1981 and has progressed through a
number of roles in Quality Control at AK Steel’s Middletown Works
in Middletown, Ohio. She is currently Manager, Routing and
Applications, where she manages the Product Metallurgy group.
Laura holds a Bachelor of Science in Materials Science from the
School of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
While women make up nearly half the U.S. labor force, today that
number lags in manufacturing. “The Manufacturing Institute’s
STEP Ahead awards are an important element of our commitment to
helping foster a 21st century manufacturing workforce by developing
current leaders and engaging future ones,” said Carolyn Lee,
Executive Director of the Manufacturing Institute.
