MSCI Looks Toward Future: Holman Head Becomes MSCI Board Chairman
- #MetalsMatters--Transformation is underway at the Metals Service Center Institute
(MSCI), as the trade association wraps up a year-long visioning process.
Among several other initiatives, the association is putting resources
toward issued-based advocacy, giving voice to the needs of the
industrial metals supply chain in Washington and Ottawa.
Volunteer leadership at the Institute has also changed; Holman Head, president & COO, O’Neal Industries, Birmingham, Ala., has been elected the chairman of the board for the Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI), effective July 1.
“It’s an honor to take this role. There’s an opportunity now to make a real impact and advocate for change in key issues—such as trade—that have hurt the health of the industrial metals supply chain,” said Head. “I look forward to being an integral part of helping MSCI make sure the metals industry’s voice is heard.”
Head, a more than 35-year veteran of the metals industry and O’Neal Industries, began his career there in inside sales. He rose through the ranks becoming president and CEO of O’Neal Steel and executive VP of O’Neal Industries in 2009. In 2014, he became president and COO of O’Neal Industries.
He has served as vice chairman of MSCI and takes over for Richard A. Robinson, president of Norfolk Iron & Metal Company, Norfolk, Neb., who has served as chairman for the last two years. Both Robinson and Head have taken an active role in the association on behalf of the industry, providing testimony before the U.S. Trade Representative on the global steel situation and before the U.S. International Trade Commission addressing trade violations impacting the aluminum industry.
